I can perform the exact same procedures using the same scanner with different films and one film does very well while another scans very poorly. The Nikon Coolscan III doesn't seem to like older fast films. The highlights block up unless the film is underexposed, and then the mid-tones are grainville. Since Nikon doesn't volunteer this information in their literature (I'm being sarcastic...it came with no literature or instructions other than a card telling you how to set it up hardware-wise), it is a game of hit and miss.
