[OM] Hi Res film scans on a CD

[usher99]

I don't know if AG gave Ektar 100 a shot yet or not. I think I would 
have remembered that.   I recall he was going to order some till a 
slide work-flow issue took over.
The Ektar when scanned on the Frontier result in slightly ruddy skin 
tones---less so than velvia.  The grain in clearely finer than Portra 
160VC.
The ektar does not tolerate underexposure as well as the UC 
100--shadows muddy up.  The ektar is very nice but overall I prefer the 
100 UC
for what I need.  It is a moot point as it is no longer made.  There 
may be many scanner specific issues and spectral sensitivities 
differences can be eleminated by profiling of course.

The Portra 400 NC-3 and VC-3 are said to scan well.  I had so much VC-2 
in the freezer I can't comment yet.

This raises the question of which 100 and 400 films today are the best
for scanning.
