I must admit the thought of losing negs to scratches/dust is a little offputting, as the type of things I'd be using 400 speed for would be action shots, not the sort I could easily reshoot. I would hope that being fastidious about cleaning the cassette felt light traps would help a lot (since the Xpan is motor driven I don't think I could use those Shirley Wellard type cassettes). Do the bulk loaders also have felt traps for the film to pass through or do they use some other form of light trap?
