so this guy was talking a load of ..... http://www.photo-i.co.uk/Reviews/interactive/Epson V750/page_8.htm ?
This 35mm shot was done by a lab...the cigarette packet was to show the size and the white smudge was my flashgun
The original shot low scan from Boots or Tesco seen on a computer screen..h'mm I seem to have the eyes slightly OOF..superia 200 taken about 7 years ago and would think new Ektar or Potra might have given better quality...just guessing.
My instinct is to say that he may not be critical of his images:
The only valid test is to print the picture and view it at a reasonable distance before making a judgment.
I have no experience scanning and printing negs and only from wet darkroom work, but I would expect a print from 35mm that was >20" on the long side to show discernably degraded image quality when viewed at around 12", which is where I would examine my prints for quality. Sure I could hang it on the wall, stand back, squint a bit and declare "That's perfect!" but I know I'd be kidding myself.
