not only that, but use the best film and digital settings,
i.e. ISO 50 not ISO200.

Jens,

Interesting result.  As you mentioned in your text, your scanner may be the
limiting factor for your MZ-S => Fuji Superia => Epson 3200 flow.  The
imaging system in the scanner probably isn't sharp enough to capture all of
the detail in the film.  I have an Epson 2450 (the older version of the
3200).  A few months ago, I shot some resolution targets with a medium
format film camera and scanned them with my 2450.  I saw a lot more detail
in the film with a 30x microscope than was visible in the scanned results.
It would be interesting to take your film and have it commercially scanned
with a high-end scanner to see how much better (if at all) the results are
compared to your 3200.
