[filmscanners] RE: Scanning negs vs. slides

illumination surrounded by relative darkness, would you chose slides or
prints for further scanning ?

That something is the finer gradation of tones between similar tones, and
the more natural overall contrast (something that was two stops darker in
real life is also very nearly two stops darker on the slide).
