My pleasure, Adam. If you decide to go this route let me know and I'll explain the various trix one can employ a bit further. Btw, I also tried that glass (Focal Point, I think it is) and found that the frosty glass doesn't remove Newton rings. It was increadibly frustrating so I ditched it. With wet mounting there's sometimes minor marks, for instance from air bubbles or dust that has been IR'd away, but they're very easy to remove in post. Not so with Newton rings which simply ruin a good scan. I have on occasion used the thin normal (non-frosty) glass to keep negs flat but the time outlay of wet mounting is worth it, particularly with b&w, because dust is virtually always hidden by the fluid. 

 

Hi Philip - I really appreciate the insights.   Thanks very much for taking the time to share.  I use the glass film tray, I think it is the FH-869GR.  Seems to work ok and is a big improvement from the tray with no glass (and also this tray with the after-market glass, which didn't work for me).  But I am constantly looking for ways to optimize further.  Thanks again and I will study what you have shared.

.... always under the beautiful red light which evoked Adam, intense activity with round boats that catch fish

from fishing boats stationed at large, yet still light on for night at 5 am

 

what I like about the film is a faithful reproduction of what we see without any change by any camera software or rise of isos. I remain at 100 isos. Surprising for a really sensitive film in low light condition

Gary, ... following scanning , printing some selected pictures through the enlarger :)

 

All my films are passed to the airport scanner in a Domke protective bag.

I explained to airport security agents that the film images are far more beautiful than

the digital pictures  :)

The dreaded vertical line with vuescan is still there even after the latest upgrade..........B&W scans are fine, color are sh!te

Is anyone else having the same issue used vuscan

Silver fox is okay to but the quality of the scans with that software is nowhere near as good as the vuescan...........without the line

Yes an intense activity early in the morning in this fish market on the beach :)

I am afraid that in a few years , this sandy beach will be transformed into resort and closed to the public (which is illegal) :angry:

 

Ektar has a fine grain and some pictures look like a painting as said Adam

Neil, I think (and Gary knows too)  that it's a dust which gives this vertical line.

but it does not bother me, digital images also have this problem : dead pixel

Its not dust Henry. If it was dust it would be there on the B&W scans as well
