Carlos, just a thought...

If Newton rings are more of an issue with underexposed negatives, could it
be that these negatives, having less silver are either less rigid or
alternatively the base, having no silver in larger areas, becomes prone to
sticking to the glass. If this is the case, the silver may act as a barrier
to the formation of Newton rings. Different film bases may behave
differently though...

I will have a look at some of my glass mounted transparencies to check how
they behave.

John
