[filmscanners] Re: The"Pepper Grain" problem

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

Hi Tony,

Yes, there is a URL for a webpage exhibiting all sorts of goodies
regarding this matter at:

http://www.luminous-landscape.com/fuji-pepper.htm

Roger Smith is the person who has been doing most of the research in
this area (in terms of my involvement, at least).  We've been batting
around this issue for about a year now, but he was the first to bring it
to my attention.  It is most noticeable on certain scanners like the
Minolta Series.

I'll also mention that I just emailed my contact at Fuji Pro Films
Canada, regarding this matter and the idea of a low contrast, higher
exposure latitude reversal film with less dense dMAX.  Basically, a
scanner optimized slide film.
