I don't understand this. The images that I posted had the EXIF information
stripped out of them when I used the Photoshop SFW feature. No EXIF
information appears when i run the posted images through PS or Irfanview.
How then, can anyone say that they read the EXIF data in the images?
That said, looking at the original image from the istDs, there's plenty of
EXIF data, or at least what I understand EXIF data to be:

Maker Note (Vendor): -
I don't think I said the WB was set to Tungsten - I was told it was set to
Flash. IAC, whatever it was, I didn't set it, so I don't really know what
it was first hand.

The lens used was a SMC P 18mm f3.8. In other words a [K] lens. There
will be no exif information since the lens doesn't communicate any
information to the camera, unless you think the *ist-Ds can read minds...

It's also interesting to note that no sharpening was done on either
image.
The one from the istDs was made with standard sharpening and other
standard
settings and the scanned film was just a straight scan -push the scan
button, let 'er roll - and no sharpening of any sort was used
anywhere in
the process.
The image from the DS was certainly not captured with standard
settings. Otherwise, the EXIF information (easily visible in Pentax
Browser, EXIF-O-Matic, Photoshop CS2, and iView Media Pro) would have
had lens name, aperture, and other information, and it would not have
had Manual exposure, CW Averaging and other non-default settings.
You've also already stated that the white balance was set to Tungsten.
