I find the canon one looks like Windows'zes screen saver back then - soft and

The Agfa does look mushy and grainy (can’t be noise from the scanner here, can
it?) but the colours look closer to what my eye/brain/memory combo can imagine the
scene to have been.
I respectfully disagree. I have been known to say that the range and intensity of the Spring greens in this area, what I
call Marinoma, West Marin and SW Sonoma counties, exceed what one would imagine to exist.
I have spent a LOT of time in this area, over many decades. We're there a few times every year, as it's beautiful and
only about an hour away. The colors in the 300D shot (with the ACR and PS, and my skills of 2005) are believable to me.
Those of the Agfa are not colors I can ever imagine exiting there.
You might enjoy a virtual tour of part of that area 11 years later.

If you think the greens are overstated, you just need to come out and visit one
Spring*. :-)
This one, for example leaves me giving up in despair in PS.

I cannot quite capture the intensity and glow of this pasture in late light in the Spring. Last time we drove by it, I
just stopped to bask in the view, but didn't even bother to take any photos.

* These hills, and all the hills in our coast ranges, turn tawny, "Golden", in Summer. When the winter rains come, the
greens happen.
