Alex, I found the best comment on the topic of slides vs negs in a photo magazine a few days ago: "The negs can record many levels of light (wide input range) but the slides can capture many more tones in a narrower input range". That's why usually a well exposed slide looks very rich, very dense. When I did some informal tests with my Polaroid SS4000 I was impressed with the Provia 400F scans - very good color reproduction and low grain. My 400 speed negs weren't that spectacular. Granted, I was using consumer grade film: Kodak Max 400 and Fuji Superia 400.
