[Leica] Olympus Pen Ft

[Frank.Dernie at btinternet.com (Frank Dernie)]

Perhaps ypu have grain aliasing, where the grain looks greater because  
of a mismatch between the grain spacing frequency and sample  
frequency??? I get this with my Rolleiflex 200asa print film scans. My  
transparency scans are as one would expect, the print film scans are  
very poor indeed both on a Nikon 8000 film scanner.
