No, I can't explain this either, but my E-10 images continue to amaze
me, even compared with those from medium format (Bronica ETRS).

I also scan my medium format negs with an Epson 2450 scanner. They
amaze me too, although many have pointed out elsewhere that the 2450
is no more than just adequate for the job.

Is it simply subjective, or is there a real measurable reason for
this?
