Digital BW, The Print

Julian,
This is my preferred method of scanning with the 
1680 and 4x5 negs. I place the negs emulsion down 
on the scanner glass. AN glass on top pressed 
against the negative. I occassionally have Newtons 
rings doing this\ufffdI think as a result of static charge. 
Clean both the neg and glass with anti-static cloth. 
Focus has not been a problem. I use the 0 setting 
(not the 2.5mm). I wish the 1680 had variable focus 
like the 1640XL.
Be sure to use the correct side of the AN glass too.
