Yes, you're right that the highlights are a bit blown out there, but I
think quite a lot of that is from the scanning. I'll have to look at
the original slide to be certain but I think the highlights were rather
better captured than it appears. The impression I got on the light box
was definitely that the RSX II does do a better job in the shadows, all
else being equal, than Velvia. I tried out several films on that trip,
but could really do with giving the results some more critical scrutiny.
I must try Kodachrome some time before it disappears altogether. But if
the latitude is even tighter than Velvia's I can't imagine it's easy to
work with..
Cheers,
Roger
