. What's your opinion (about cleaning and scanner choice). Best regards Tomasz Zakrzewski P.S. I'd choose Canon FS4000 but I made a test and it exagerrates even minor film imperfections, much more than Nikons and Microteks. Also FARE does strange things sometimes.

From my experience I can tell that it's better for most negatives (bw and color) to expose 1/3 stop more than the ISO rating. You're always on te safer side when the exposure meter makes a mistake. And by looking at the negatives, the a little denser ones appear "better" to me. Tomasz Zakrzewski
