Does anyone have experience with Scan-Tech Anti-Newton glass? I'm using an Epson V-600 scanner primarily for 35mm B&W negatives. Very happy with the scans , but have been experiencing Newton Rings primarily with Tri-X which curls much more than llford HP5 Plus. Flattening under heavy books helps some as does inserting the negatives reversed, i.e., with emulsion side (concave) down, but this degrades definition. Scan-Tech promotes a thin glass insert which supposedly addresses the Newtons Ring issue; however, the illustration on their website shows a negative convex side up with glass on the top of the negative, the opposite of my situation with 35mm B&W. I have a call and an e-mail in to them, but while awaiting a response, I thought I'd try the RFF community. Thanks for any help or advice you can provide.
