I think their scanner is especially crappy. I used to get better
results with Kodak 800 color print film scanned with my Scanwit 2720s at
9mp from 35mm film with pretty much any coke bottle bottom I mounted on
a Pentax camera. With a good lens much much better, I could easily get
excellent 8 x 10 prints. It took a long time to get a DSLR that
bettered those results, the *ist-D was on par at lower linear
resolution, but it won out because it was so much more convenient. Well
scanned 6x7 should blow you away with detail, even with a less than
stellar lens.

Last year I was given a Pentax 67, it took me until a couple weeks ago
to finish the first roll of Porta 400. Unfortunately, when Bay
scanned it, they scanned it square, so I need to bring it in for
rescanning.
Here are the photos with the horizon straightened, color balance and
exposure tweaked. They seem to be scanned at about 200dpi which may be
higher resolution than the grain at about 30MP.
Photographing with this camera doesn't have the comfortable flow of
using the 35mm DSLR that I've had for 45 years. The general image
quality seems to be a bit lower than that of an APS DSLR, except maybe
in really bright light. I've got a second roll of film that I'll try
to shoot a lot more promptly, but at the very least, using this is
really making me appreciate my K-1.
