Re: [Digital BW] Re: Scan a roll at a time

I don't know how long you've been doing your film photography, but 
today's emulsions are much harder & more scratch resistant than those of 
yore. Cautions re scratchability are somewhat overstated imo.

The only thing I would consider using it for would be like automating small files for web display where you are using massive dust and scratches filtering for auto cleanup.
