Clive,
For several years I printed with a 5x7 Elwood it had a diffusion
light source and a glass carrier. I never had Newton Rings. I did have a
lot of dust, but I learned how to deal with it. Clean with soap and water
and dry them very dry before you put the neg in place. I suspect that some
of the reason I had little or no spotting was because of the diffused light
source. Condensers exaggerate the problem, IMO. I now have a D-2 with the
VCL 4500 coldlight that Aristo makes and still not much dust. YMMV.
