That was pretty much my reaction to my first real B+W scans (Delta400,
LS-2000, NikonScan.)

I'm far happier now, after cutting the dev time about 15% and learning not
to overexpose - I set my handheld meter to 640asa to match my Nikons' at
400. The Nikons are fine for slides, had only ever used the sekonic for C-41
films before, where overexposing a stop does no harm.
