I agree. I would have dialed out a little more saturation on the third try. As you said, the film seems highly saturated, much like Velvia. But I was quite pleased with the sharpness and grain. It would be interesting to compare it to a good lab print. I think that even though it's not scanned at optimum resolution, it's sharper than a good optical print. Paul
