I scan both Kodachrome and E6 on my Nikon LS-2000 and the better sharpness and more natural color rendition of Kodachrome comes through on the scans. BTW, I just tried Kodak Elite 100 Extra Color for some landscape shots, and I could not believe how garish the colors are. If Kodak wanted to dethrone Fuji Velvia with this film, they definitely missed the boat. I cannot think of a single Kodak E6 film that I like. I used to like the E200 but now that Fuji Provia 400F is out, not anymore. Nathan Bill Lawlor wrote, in part: > Scanning 35: I have been using Kodak Photo CD scans for most of my 35mm > work.
