[filmscanners] Nikon 8000 120 film holder question

2004-10-21 Thread Lotus M50
I recently got my hands on a Nikon coolscan 8000 ED scanner pretty cheap, so I figured I would scan alot of my 6x7 film. In the past I cut my 6x7 120 film into groups of 3 because that is how they fit neatly into pages that fit into binders (either 8.5x11 or A4 size). That , I believe is pretty

You didn't mention what he is scanning... transmissive or reflective. If he is scanning something like a satin finish semi-glossy photo, I have seen some scanners pick up sparkles or dots or shadows with certain irregular surfaces. It does look like noise. Also, does he have the scanner software

One more thought... you said this guy was an electrician? Could it be possible he wired his own house? Bad grounding, dirty power due to bad connections at the outlets, unbalanced circuit box, interference pick up due to incorrectly wired outlet (polarization mixed up?). I know this sounds a
