[APML] Scanning and slide mounts



To all,
 
We'll I've tried scanning a few of my negs and I'm not too happy.
 
My neg strip holder doesn't appear to hold the neg as flat as my scanned slide images.
 
I'm considering mounting the negs in individual glass mount slide mounts.  Probably will use the GEPE mounts, they're available locally and I've used them over the years.  I also like the glass mounts because they do protect the neg/slide itself.
 
Problem is, I already have one of my slides scanned that shows a beautiful Newton's ring.
 
I'm debating whether to try cleaning the slide/neg and mount and re-mounting or going to anti-Newton slide mounts.  >From what I remember the anti-Newton glass mounts almost had a very slightly "frosted" appearance of sorts (it's been many years).  Should I worry about contrast or sharpness loss with the anti-Newton slide mounts?  Any experiences?  Or will the image be sufficiently recovered in processing?
 
Thanks in advance.
 
... Bill
