Re: Dust on Digital Sensors

[Jan Faul <jan@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

WE have an almost identical setup, but use a friendly gas substitute for air. The dirt we spend time spotting out doesn’t come from the scanner, it comes from the lab processing the film. AS labs have gotten more miserly in their operational costs, they have cut back on buying new filters for both water and air.

First thing I bought to put beside my film scanner(s) was my Meech Static Eliminator and I also ran a line from the air compressor to the scanning point.  I had this set up before to remove dust from film, why wouldn't I do the same for scanning?

It cut down spotting time considerably.
