Any bad scan by the roll I've ever worked with usually is fixable in Photoshop with the new Highlight-Shadow adjustment. Grabs detail in the highlights and shadows that you'd thought the scan way missed. I'm not sure in scanning and if there's a real difference I've ever seen between the Kodak and the Ilford. I've used lots of Kodak as more places will have it when I run out and not sometimes the Ilford. Had I been printing from both in the darkroom I'd tell you image wise how they both compared. Ignoring the curveball problem with the Kodak with the color cast. But in scanning I found it real hard to make comparisons. There are so many mystical electronic variables. And in Inkjetting. Printing to monitor even. I'd not be sure what I was comparing. One could compare a very fortuitous image from bad film against a very unlucky image from a good film and get the wrong impression. Things had just gone down badly on the good film. Goodly on the bad. As Napoleon said when some film came up to him and wanted to be a Lieutenant. "Sure you are good but are you LUCKY!?!?"
