Sorry, I uploaded some more images yesterday and the scratches pictures are now on page 2:

<x-tad-bigger> Shannon, I must be blind because I don't see which images have the scratches.</x-tad-bigger>
<x-tad-bigger> </x-tad-bigger>
<x-tad-bigger> However, when I used to shoot 35mm I would sometimes get random scratches as you describe, usually spanning several frames, then several clean ones, then several scratched ones, etc......</x-tad-bigger>
<x-tad-bigger> </x-tad-bigger>
<x-tad-bigger> I had my cam serviced in an attempt to remedy it, the service person told me the scratches were occuring during the film rewind action. So I wonder whether it isn't something inside your camera, rather than w/your processing, that might be the culprit.</x-tad-bigger>

<x-tad-bigger>> If you look here you will see some nasty scratches on some 120 film, </x-tad-bigger>
<x-tad-bigger>> running the length of the film rather than across it. Wonder how those </x-tad-bigger>
<x-tad-bigger>> got there? Could the reels have done it? Or my hands? It's on </x-tad-bigger>
<x-tad-bigger>> exposure #11. I usually don't touch the film after I photo flo it, but </x-tad-bigger>
<x-tad-bigger>> I might have this time.</x-tad-bigger>
<x-tad-bigger>> </x-tad-bigger>
<x-tad-bigger>> Also: I think my bottle of photo flo might be still causing streaks. I </x-tad-bigger>
<x-tad-bigger>> dilute it at half the dilution recommended, yet I still sometimes see </x-tad-bigger>
<x-tad-bigger>> streaks. Could this be because the stock solution is simply old? I </x-tad-bigger>
<x-tad-bigger>> can't find an expiration date on it, but I think it's pretty old.</x-tad-bigger>
