To avoid polluting Attila's ow thread, I open mine. Various lenses used here, all manual but I don't know exactly which ones... The scanner is an Epson V330 photo, using Epson Scan software on Mac.

All can be found in my flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/derdide/sets/72157627167369168/

Nice shots but from the third one, seem to go downhill because of hairs, scratches or spots etc ...using a rocket blower and blowing negs and glass helps to eliminate pesky marks when scanning.

Yes, nice indeed.

#8 has a problem, not only dust. There are some coloured patches.

OK, the top ones are the latest ones and compared to the others, I paid attention to blowing the scanner's glass - I'll blow the neg next time, thanks for the tip.
And yes, the first ones were developed in a local lab specialized in analog stuff, the later ones in a 1h-booth in the local supermarket. And in my eyes, the automatic and cheap lab is much better than the specialized one Sad

good news in the end, but a bit disappointing. I don't know if it explains the coloured patches but some other pics (not uploaded) are worse for that matter...

Thanks for the comments anyway Smile

To add to a comment of mine below Attila's thread: yes, close shots are quite sharper than infinity ones, but positioning the lens on infinity gives much better results than playing with depth of field. And I confirm that they support much more sharpening than the ones coming out of my DSLR.
