definitely not fingerprints.

I'm definitely not downloading 4.5MB of whatever you posted on that URL,
but once upon a time I received back some negatives with what appeared to
be hundreds of little black dots on them. Turned out to be fingerprints.


Let me explain that one more time: in your browser, when you begin to see the
image appear, the top part of the image, just stop the download. There is
enough detail there to see the specs of dust.

Looks like dust, dirt, or possibly mold. Since you just got
them back from the lab, it's probably not mould.

IMHO: Time to try cleaning with PEC-12 or possibly
re-washing the film using filtered water.

You should let the lab *manager* know, and provide a sample
for him/her to evaluate.

Be sure that I did. I returned 4 x 36 of mounted slides for them to clean. How
they did the cleaning is no matter to me as long as they didn't damage the
slides. I have examined a good sampling of them and they are now clean and to
all appearnces undamaged. (the usual 1 or 2 per roll with a scratch or some
embedded crap).

They told me that a different operator than usual ran the batch and somehow
missed a cleaning stage... this seems odd to me as I assumed their E-6 machine
was automatic from feed to pre-cutting/mounting.

I've done about 20 rolls with them over the past 5 months or so, and generally
very good. A couple recent rolls went to another lab and they managed to
scratch many slides. (That is via the store that does my negatives (very well)
but they farm out the slides to another place).

Cheers,
Alan

Its this sort of crap that helped me go dslr. I had gone the slide/scanner
route but even paying professional rates i was still getting dirty marks on
negs. The only truly reliable slide processors were the people at fuji uk
who did the process paid fuji film.

That sure looks like the infamous Fuji "pepper grain" on slide film.
What kind of film was it? I can't tell from the thread.
