Digital BW, The Print

A dozen or so scans later, I have seen newton rings on a few TMAX scans.  No
rings on any other film I've tried (color negative Portra and Fuji).

That's interesting, Clyde! I scan a lot of T-Max 100 in 120 with my 
Sprintscan 120 and have never seen any newton rings using my standard 
glassless carrier.  But I don't quite understand how would you got 
newton rings with a glassless carrier in the first place? I thought 
the idea of a glass carrier was to keep the film flat, and the newton 
rings were a product of light going through the glass--Enter the need 
for Anti-Newton, glass. If you're getting newton rings with the anti-
newton ring glass holder, then maybe Polaroid should change the name 
to just newton ring holder. BTW, What is Polaroid charging for this 
glass film holder?
