Re: filmscanners: Negatives vs. slides in new scanners

I have now tried Kodak Supra 400 and, on the LS-30 at 2700spi it scans
better than average but I would not consider it exceptional.  I still have
grain in blue skies and, I think, in the black skies in night shots (but
viewable only if I lighten the sky to lighter than pitch black).  I've had
to set Vuescan on "Clean-heavy" to prevent it.

Other than that, in color and exposure it has worked well.
