The grain in scanned film is more obvious, at least with my Nikon LS5000 and adds to the slightly soft look of scanned film. Digital is very, very sharp in comparison. In fact, it is distractingly sharp and I sometimes add grain for that reason. Those Leica lenses are just too sharp! ;-) Tina On Sun, May 29, 2011 at 6:01 PM, Frank Filippone <red735i at earthlink.net>wrote: > Tina.. as a person that has seen probably thousands of rolls of film > through > a loupe ( In the OLD DAYS), you know a sharp from a not-sharp shot. > > Are you saying that film through a loupe is not as sharp as digital capture > ( even an M8, M9 or DMR) on a screen? > > Or are you comparing scanned film to digital capture? > > > > Frank Filippone > Red735i at earthlink.net > > > I do have to apply capture sharpening to every digital file - except the M8 > and M9 and DMR.
