Alan said:I get what you're saying, and it makes sense.
OTOH, when I scan at 5400 on E100S I get strong grain appearance
that does not show projected. The same film scanned at 1/4 the
res of the scanner does not exhibit the grain as strongly (and of
course nor does it show the detail). So pehaps grain aliasing is
the wrong term, but something is happening (or not happening)
resulting in the chunky looking grain. Other films (incl. GX,
Sensia, Velvia) do not show these artifacts...
I have noticed similar problems scanning some Kodak and Fuji films on Nikon
film scanners. I have rarely had the same problems using Canon or Polaroid film
scanners. Perhaps that may be due to the light source, or the focusing, or the
software, or some combination of items. The few times I have experienced the
same trouble (like with Ektachrome 400X), I found that manually focusing the
scanner produced better results, and did not affect the captured detail amount.
Another thing to try is adjusting the scanner exposure, rather than the gain,
or gamut level.
