I read this from Sanders this morning and I wanted a little clarification - I could be misinterpreting the thought. I've never heard of underexposed negs causing Newton Rings. Am I understanding this correctly? I spent many years selling both high-end drum scanners (Hell Graphics / Linotype / Scitex - along with flatbed scanners from Iris / AGFA, etc) - and I never recall hearing Newton rings can be caused by underexposed negatives. Now I'm curious and just looking for some clarification.Thanks. Bob Smith
This is a response to a fairly old post but I can say that as far as slides are concerned, at least for some types, if they are under-exposed there are less "bumps" on the emulsion side and that does make an environment for Newtons rings.
