Re: 60mm performance

Thanks to all who have replied!

My setup uses electronic flash as a light source and my camera settings are 1/250 @ f8.

I'll do a test with my glass carrier.

It's funny, when making prints in the darkroom I always used the glass carrier, and had very little issue with dust spots. When I've used the glass carrier in my current setup, dust is a major problem, though I'm using the same neg cleaning techniques.

Negative flatness is extremely important, of course. When I was working in the darkroom with generally recent negatives, the inherent curl of the film was enough to make edge to edge sharpness impossible, so I went to the glass carrier with excellent results.

Now, I'm working with negatives that are fifteen to fifty years old and have been stored flat in binders all their lives; they look very flat.

I'll post again after trying the glass carrier.
