I think I see part of the problem: Provia is shiny on both sides--no visible emulsion on either side. Apparently the emulsion side is coated. Maybe that's why the rings turn up. I wonder why Fuji does that. <<<<<<<<<< The Provia here has a noticeably relief pattern (matching the image) on the emulsion side. Try looking more closely with the light glancing off at a shallow angle. (I'm nearsighted (-8 diopters worth), so you may need a loupe to see the relief pattern.) >>>>>>>>>>> Maybe I can try always facing the convex side of the film towards the anti-newton glass, if it isn't already quite flat, even though this means scanning some strips backwards. I know that some strips look fine, but others have a definite problem with rings. I assume that curvature of the film or something is getting in the way. <<<<<<<<<<< I just had an image that had noticeable Newton's rings, but was ring-free when scanned upside down. Sharpness was fine. David J.
