Hello all,
As best as my flaky memory can recall this is my first posting after decades
of lurking on this the most informative and useful list to which I
subscribe. I am sure that this topic has been discussed but of course I
never pay much attention unless it relates to me...always been a problem.
Anyway... I have a Minolta Diamage Scan Multi II which I generally like a
lot (I have to since they now sell for a fourth the price I paid). Yesterday
I was scanning a batch of bw negs and got about halfway through and thought
I'd finish up today. Today I am getting fairly wide vertical bands, about 10
across the width of the 35mm frame, alternating light(er) and dark(er) with
the dark ones approximately twice the width of the light ones. And so I got
really annoyed, thinking can I send this thing out to the recycle trash or
just throw it in the river (the Wabash, of song and lore). Here's the odd
part--- I turned off the scanner, shut down the computer, and had one more
cup of coffee. I waited a while and then cranked it all up again and tried
another scan of the same neg. Guess what? No bands. Has anyone had similar
experience? Is there something I can do? Other than not buy another Minolta.
Cleaning? A good swift kick? I did try to track down the archive of the list
and seem to recall that we don't have one. If I'm wrong on that please let
me know the url or whatever.
Thanks all,
John
