Dust and scratches!
Just like records, you have to protect negatives from the elements, and just like records, film carries a static charge that attracts them. Happily, my retired DiscWasher has been given a new lease on life. The Zerostat gun is great for neutralizing the static charge on film, and the record brush great for removing dust without scratching it.
I recently rescued these item from my archives and put them back into service. I have other anti-static brushes as well that also work wonders.

I actually have one of those Zerostats being used with my vinyl. I'll have to remember to get it out next time I handle negatives. Thanks for the tip!
