[OM] scanning slides and negative

[John Hudson]

I am presently scanning 100 ISO Provia slides shot with my 35/80 /f2.8 zoom
and Fuji NPS 160 negatives shot with my 24 / f2.8 MC Zuiko.The slides and
negatives are properly exposed and are in focus. The scanner is a recently
CLA'ed Canon CanoScan FS2710.

Both slides and negatives were taken on low contrast cloudy days in mid to
late afternoon. I was using circular polarizers .... 49mm B+W for the wide
angle and 62mm Hoya on the zoom.

To my eyes there is a noticeable difference in the clarity and on screen
sharpness between the slide and negative scans. Without exception the slide
scans are superior to the negative scans.

To what extent is this noticeable difference attributable to differences in
the optical quality and characteristics of each lens and the nature of the
two films?

Just curious!
