RE: filmscanners: orange mask

Improper film storage and handling prior to processing
plays a big part in the consistency of color and density
characteristics of the orange mask.

Also when referring to the word "lot" are you speaking of
same film type but different batch or are you referring to
Kodak versus Fuji?
Different film types (Kodak, Fuji) will definitely show visual
differences in the orange mask.
Also different ISO ratings have differences as well.
