I'm curious.  Has anyone ever heard that this is a "problem" previously?  I
mean, film has been around for decades...as well as exceptional cameras,
very good enlargers, and enlarging lenses...and people (including my self)
have made some very large prints....but never have I heard anyone, out of
hundreds of high end professionals and amateur photographers I know, ever
mention "emulsion bubbles" as being a problem...

I've also not heard any of the high end scanner people I know (who use drum
scanners, Leafscans and Imacons) ever mention this issue either...
