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

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. --Mark >Hi all >I have now posted my Analog versus Digital test shots.
