I must admit I have never encountered grain aliasing using Supra on my LS-30. Where does this show up on the scan? Is it in darker or black areas? I am interested as I think Supra is a superb film and I regularly use it and scan it, so it would be useful to know where others are encountering issues.
Here is a link to an image scanned on the LS-30 from a Supra 400 negative (the picture of the girl called 'Lillie'): http://www.sclamb.com/contaxn1/makrosonnar/FrameSet.htm I find the transitions between colours, the smooth tones and the accurate flesh tone are the things that I like about Supra. Obviously there are no dark areas, hence my question as to whether the aliasing is in dark or black areas. Simon Maris V.
