I've never heard or read why it seems to be the case, but I, also, realize a poorer image when scanning color negatives than I do when scanning positives. Based on posts to this list, I understanding this to be the common experience. At least there appears to be a "drudgery" factor associated with negative scanning. I was reminded of it today when a deeply experienced lab person made an aside comment, "neg scans are always grainier than slide scans". Very difficult, and probably moot at that, to compare RMS factors between the two. I wonder about the results of a grain comparison between Reala 100 and Provia or Astia 100F. I know the lab person well enough not question him about his reasons. I would predict a quick flip off remark such as "I see it all the time". I predict that I'll soon not be worrying about such things to the same extent. Anyway, anyone have an opinion or, even better, a conclusive answer?
