[rollei_list] Re: OT Re: Scanning 120 film

Dear all,

I find that scanning paper/picture on a flatbed (Epson) shows a lot of dust
on the scanned image, what is or can be seen as normal.

Scanning a slide/negative on an embedded printer (like a Nikon where you
insert the framed slides/negatives) should give less dust/better results, or
am I wrong?

Kind regards
Frederic
