All,
Thank you for your help.
Sorry I should have stated that they are colour films.
Just out of interest - why not the canned version? Too much air pressure?
I found, and attached, an image I scanned which show the marks. I can't remember if ICE was on for that scan or not but I know I tried ICE and still had marks.
I've had a few scans which are a bit underexposed. I'm still experimenting with the Epson software to see if I can improve it. I also had a few that were red/purple (maybe over saturated?), I can't attach any example of the over saturated ones as they are of people.
Thanks

All,
I'm using an Epson Perfection V550 to scan negatives.
The negatives have been held in the original sleeves but I still seem to be getting dust marks and, in some cases, I can see dust on them,
Is it worth buying an air blower to try and remove the dust or am I going to need to use chemicals? I'm trying to avoid chemicals as I'm not confident in using them, I don't want to damage anything or get chemical everywhere.
Any recommendation for an air blower or, if necessary, chemicals would be appreciated.
I'm now using digital so this is probably a 'once only' project. I have about 15-20 films to scan.
Also, can anyone recommend a sensible scanning resolution? Storage space isn't too much of an issue but I don't want to waste time and storage space on scanning for detail that isn't in the original negative anyway.
Lastly I'm not planning to do any post processing, the purpose is just to have a digital copy of the photos. Therefore I don't think there is any disadvantage to using jpg?
Sorry for all the questions and any advice that my questions don't specifically cover would be appreciated.
Thanks

All,
Thank you for your help.
I've just tried four or five iterations of the dust removal and taken a photo at f/16 and the marks are still there so I will have to purchase a Rocket Blower.
If you don't mind me asking - why f/16? I only ask because I'm interested to learn. I'm not doubting you. I'm just starting to think about using manual settings occasionally rather than always using auto.

All,
I have marks as shown on the attached. I've cleaned and changed lenses and I still get the marks so I think it must be inside the camera body.
I've tried the dust removal function a few times but it hasn't helped.
Am I correct in thinking that the only place the marks can be is on the sensor?
Can I use the camera function to lift the mirror and then use a torch light to inspect the sensor? I wasn't sure if a torch light could damage the sensor? If there are marks I am likely to get the sensor cleaned by a retailer (Jessops or similar - UK based). I don't want to damage it by attempting to clean it myself.
Thanks

Thanks for your help.
Sorry I was thinking of my previous camera body. It's a Pentax K-r.

All,
Any video I take is quite fuzzy but any photos I take are fine. I would appreciate any advice on possible causes.
Does the video use a different sensor/mirrors to photos? I think videos used to be OK so I'm wondering if something is damaged or marked. I don't want to try cleaning anything in case I damage it especially as photos are fine.
It happens with different lenses so the issue must be with the camera body.
Thanks
