drugstore scan vs. Canon PIXMA MP990

The screenshot in the cut shows this image zoomed into my daughter's right eye (left of the image). The exposure was indoors with 400 speed 35mm film, lit by natural light through a window.

Now just imagine why I stopped letting even my "far better than a crappy drugstore" lab scan my film, in favor of my Nikon Coolscan 9000 :-) Still bothers me that even the "higher-res" scans from those places tend to still be low-res, in terms of what the film is capable of. (extra annoying with medium format, that those machines don't scan much better than 35mm)

(of course if I was still mostly doing 35mm, I'd probably have stuck with the Coolscan V that I still have)

Now if you want to experience slide-film-like resolution off a print film, I suggest giving Kodak Ektar 100 a try.
