Print sure can't see everything on film but it do represent very well
in the resolution, I think either your scanner or your photo lab has
problem. In my experience print gives all the details a 2700dpi can
do, tone/contrast/color is another issue. Loupe is just for resolution
comparison only, not for daily use.
