Thanks Rob.  I've never use the clean filters so it is something else.  And
we have different scanners so it isn't scanner related.

It is on both my ProviaF 100 and 400 slides (that's all I tried).  I didn't
notice it on every shot but most had the problem.

I wouldn't have spent any time with it if I had known it didn't work
right...   It looks to be a great feature though...especially if we can get
multiple passes on the long exposure pass...gonna be AWESOME !!!!  :)))
