This is the main reason I've been exploring alternatives to the Minolta
carrier. Despite my best efforts to keep dust and dirt off the glass and
film, I *still* end up doing a lot of spotting in PS and it's *very* time
consuming.

The Kami mounting fluid I'm considering trying is claimed to evaporate from
the both the film and glass and need little or no cleanup afterwards.
