You are probably getting one of two things, grain aliasing, or Callier effect (due to the LED light source, which is a point light source and exaggerates film grain). See this link for a description of grain aliasing: http://www.photoscientia.co.uk/Grain.htm Personally, I think you are mostly having a problem with the LED light source. If that is the case, back off on your development a bit and that will probably help...and it might take some experimentation to get it to where you like it. I shoot and scan D100 no problem, but I have a scanner that has a diffuse light source. Austin > Yes, an LS30.
