[filmscanners] RE: Lousy results with Nikon LS-2000 & Kodak Gold200?

["Clark Guy" <guy.clark@siemens.com>]

HI, all!

Could this be grain aliasing?   I've had similar results scanning Tri-X 35mm
film on my Scan Multi II (2800 DPI).  Examination of negatives under an
optical microscope shows the actual grain to be much smaller than it appears
on the scans.

I have also had very disappointing results when scannng Gold 200 on an
LS-4000.  To me, it looks like film grain rather than noise from the
scanner.  I don't see nearly as much of it when I scan Portra (160 ISO, if I
remember right).
