RE: filmscanners: Sharpness of color chrome vs color negative.

["Laurie Solomon" <laurie@advancenet.net>]

Ok Austin, You have just openned a can of worms here.  Are we talking about
sharpness as seen through a loup, from a monitor, off a light table,
photographic print or inkjet print?  Is the comparison based on each coming
from the same type of source and under the same lighting; or are we
comparing apples and oranges (e.g., projected chromes or light table chromes
versus reflected light prints)?  I think if you are fishing for a set of
comparable data and experiences to evaluate you will need to set out some
very precise standards and conditions under which we are to analyze our
experiences so as to produce comparable data worth evalauating.  Otherwise,
you will have started an unnecessary "My old man is better then your old
man" type of discussion that will quickly degenerate into an argument where
no new information will be added as it goes on and neither siode will win
over the other.

What do people have to say about the differences in sharpness between same
ASA, same brand chrome vs color negative film?  My experience shows that the
chrome films are not as sharp as the negative films.
