I always inspect the negatives and slides with a Rodenstock magnifying glass and a lightning box, both before cleaning and just before inserting the feeder in the scanner. Afer adopting this procedure, the number of rescans due to dust is much lower. I never tried PEC-12 fluid because I never found it. Anybody knows where I can find it (or a similar product) in Europe.
