Can we now rely on those with an obsession with regard to depth of field on
Nikon scanners remaining silent on that particular issue?

Hi Tony,
Yes, we've been discussing an article on the 'Luminous
Landscape' website. I posted a short follow-up to an original article
by Nick Rains on the black speckles in high-res scans that Nick calls
'Pepper grain'. I showed that the specks are probably caused by
microscopic bubbles in the scratch-resisitant layer outside the
emulsion.
