Dave, why did you have to reverse the film direction-- wouldn't
flopping it alone have acheived the desired effect? Along with
adjusting some registers on the Adam-- entering shrunken film mode,
increasing the settle time-- it is what allowed my pinning of print to
succeed, finally. Next time I will try cleaning the film.

Uncalled-for, but having been asked that question so many times, I
should have a more rehearsed response. To put it simply, I can't get
close to this client's look with negative: when I have tried, I have
entered the realm of extreme noise. This look, though it varies from
job to job, generally includes a strong, crushed, black, a severely
stretched midrange, a clean, blown-out white, and a crispening of
detail. I push the limits far enough that quantization, at times,
rears its ugly head in the grayscale.
