Brian, I know you love the Fuji Frontier, with which I have no
experience. But have you checked out my experiment yesterday? Even if
the Frontier is a lot better than Kodak Royal process/print, it may be
way short of film scanning. Maybe some of your dissatisfaction is not
35mm per se, but the method of reproduction? A film scanner may be
cheaper and improve things more than a 35-80/2.8, which is not an order
of magnitude better than other Zuikos. CH's web pics are all from film
scanners. Tim's may be also. He doesn't say, but I'll bet they are. Do
you have the same problem with slides?

Hi folks,
at risk of being burned at the stake, I have to say that the photos Tim posted
of his friends' daughters (especially the first shot (Amb1lpg?) have the
qualities of detail and contrast,
Along with color graduation, the very qualities lost in scanning 4x6 prints
Maybe if & when I get a Zuiko 35-80 I can get close on 35mm.
BTW, I also like the flowers that CH found in his garden, captured with the
Zuiko 180/2.8, and the 100/2. Great colours and good detail.
