Doug: do you see same scan issues as in the SP1000 shots?

Looks to me like the stop sign is not quit sharp ...

Attila, I swapped out the best of the two stop sign shots I had made. The one you are seeing now is much sharper.
In the SP1000 thread, doug noticed some possible scanning issues. That is why I posed the question that way. Looks like this roll from the Bessa got a much better scanning job ...

I think the Bessa roll is better scanned - and perhaps better exposed. I did some PP with the better stop sign pic, too. The leaf shot I might have juiced the saturation just a tad. I wonder if my handheld meter on incident, which I used for the SP1000 shots, is calling for a stop or so of overexposure, or the effect is such because of bright sunshine and deep green shadows. My Bessa meter seldom does me wrong. I just set the exposure for the brightest expanse in the frame, then maybe woggle a stop or half stop from experience ...

And you shoot rifles? 
Paul, could you please resize your second pic in line with the posting guidelines - max 1024 wide, or else move it to the Oversized Gallery. Thanks.

Okie-dokie. Photo is resized.
Peter, with my cameras, the shutter is pressed by the tip of the foremost pad on my right forefinger, which has little feeling in it.
The shutter trip is measured in ounces, I would imagine, especially on the Bessa, which has a light "trigger" and is light in weight to boot. So when I press the shutter button I might push or even tap harder than necessary - because of the lack of touch - which trips the shutter and can move the camera off axis, too. (I am ordering a soft release for the Bessa, which should give me a little more feel because of a larger surface area, and a bit of a mechanical advantage.)
As for firearms, the first crook of my forefinger - on either hand; I can shoot almost equally well from either side - is what pulls the trigger. There is a great diffrence in the mechanics of pushing a shutter button and pulling a trigger. I also have more feel in the first crook/joint.
Nevertheless, I have given up most hunting because of the potential for foot clumsiness - caused by the CIDP - when carrying a firearm, especially early and late in the day. Also, I no longer carry a sidearm because of the same potential for accidental harm. 
I DO still shoot my .22 bolt rifle occasionally.

OK - it's just that I was taught to squeeze a trigger, not pull it.

Yep, I agree - these are much better scans.
