[Leica] Am I wasting my time/money? many variables

[wrs111445 at yahoo.com (Bill Smith)]

I agree--far more variables on the film side; however, I have doubts that 
the Sony would perform that much better.

Every place is out. Before making conclusions, you must see if the test was 
"fair".

1) Was the lens properly focused? You need to take several clicks on the 
same subject, using a tripod and cable release. Focus
each time separately. You should also use the mirror lock up feature to keep 
vibration down. Is the image put down on film in
focus? You judge this step using a magnifying glass and your eyes.

2) Is your scanner properly focusing on the image plane? Use something like 
a focusing negative target to judge this step.

3) If everything is properly working, and all the focus error possibilities 
are taken into account. Try the test again.
