I started with a Topcon system in the early 1970's. Used Super D with a 58/1.8 from Olden Camera. Now have all the RE. Auto-Topcor and R. Topcor lenses. Pretty much in retirement now.
Then a Leica IIIa that I bought at our church's rummage sale. Have gotten to having period lenses from 28mm to 135mm. Still my favorite travel camera, small and light.
Then a Canon IIF that spawned into a IV-SB2 and 7s, with a nice set of Canon RF lenses.
Got a Pentax *ist DS2 to get into digital, it spawned an MX, MZ-3, *ist, and LX, and a nice set of Pentax-A and Pentax-FA prime lenses. Now waiting to buy the full-frame K-1, as color film processing prices are going insane.

Well, even if it's been discontinued, I am really glad I got a copy before they went away. I bought mine when the price dropped below $400 and I can only say that it has really grown on me since I did. I like the reactions I get to the funky looks and the IQ is great. It's become my go-to camera, especially for taking to places like the Canton's Trade Days or the Stock Show. The reactions to it are similar to those I get when I'm using one of my old Spotmatics or my 645, and for me that's half the fun of taking photos.

Yeah, we got off topic. I use Kodak Gold 200 I have stashed in the
freezer. Seem to be using more and more expired film these days,
price is right and it works for me. Use maybe 6 fresh rolls a year, rest
expired. Back to your question, yes probably dust on negs.When we
had real printing paper, that's what spotting fluid was for, ha!
Best regards,
