Digital BW, The Print

It is relatively new and not gray market.  It was refrigerated, but 
there were two rolls and one was out of the refrigerator for two days 
before I shot it.  I just checked with an 8 power loupe and can 
barely see the specs...but they are there when I look at a 5X7 (print 
size) scan, especially when I zoom in at the "fit on screen" level.

I will clean everything thoroughly and process the next roll with 
bottled water.  The specs are much to small be be dust from the 
drying process.

Thanks for the suggestions.,

Steve
