[Leica] Olympus Pen Ft

[jhnichols at bellsouth.net (Jim Nichols)]

Douglas,

Here is a 100% section from the Chopper image.  Resolution is limited by the 
quality of the scan by the local store lab, not by the quality of the 
negative.

> Following the recnt posts on the Pen F and its lens quality, I went out an 
> shot off a roll of Kodak P3200TMAX using my PenFT. Scanning the negs in 
> using my Epson 3200, I was astonished to see the level of grain and lack 
> of clarity in the images. This is an example.

> What am I doing wrong, or do these smaller negative images have to be 
> enlarged and printed chemically to get a better quality before the prints 
> are scanned?  The only other roll of film I ran through the Pen FT was a 
> C41 colour roll which I gave to a minilab to be developed and printed. The 
> prints turned out fine.
