[filmscanners] Re: How to clean negatives

["Arthur Entlich" <artistic-1@shaw.ca>]

I haven't yet tested the diffusion sheet idea yet, although it has been
tested with the Minolta Pro which has a similar problem with good
success.  There is a lot of space between the lighting source and the
carrier, due to the area to hold the APS device.

Apparently, you may have to slightly adjust exposure and color balance
based upon the type of diffuser you end up using.
