I can say that I had the same experience with Agfa APX films once upon a time, in my Rolleis. Of course I thought it must have been quality control or something like that (I surely wouldn't do anything wrong :-) ), but it turned out that it didn't have anything to do with the film. I was given advice to take some tape and dab it around in the taking chamber of my camera. The theory was that it was dust settling on the film and then blocking development. (They were black spots in the positve, not in the negative). I did that and I rolled a lint remover around in my changing bag and I haven't had any more problems. Changing bags can be a real culprit. A lot of crap settles in them (dead skin, etc). Anyway, it could be something that just happens to make it look like there's a problem with Acros. Keep an eye on it. One time is not decisive, but if it consistently happens with only Acros, ... well ... there's always Delta 100 :-) Toy: Still not here. I blush to say it. The decision to get it was _not_ rational. (Burning cheeks) ... it's a Leica, and it's not a digital one :-) Daniel On 7/6/05, Eric <ericm@pobox.com> wrote: > One thing I've noticed with Acros is that I get little black spots on my > negatives.
