Interesting results, Paul. Do you have any details on the scanner settings or the post processing?
#1 seems a bit odd to me, because the upper right appears overexposed, yet is not especially bright in the scan (<200 for the grey value). I would probably adjust some settings or PP to get the result to be different, but that is just me.  How does the negative look for this one?
#2 actually seems to be the opposite - having a nice range of values all the way from 0 to 255...perhaps suggesting that it was auto-adjusted by the scanner or in post processing? This is a great shot, and seems to be an excellent test image for the scanner.
How do the scans look at 100%?

Thanks, guys.
I remember that first shot having a very bright patch of sun on the ground. I did a little PP to bring down the brightness of it.
The scans were quickies done on home mode in jpeg format. I am just trying to get a feel for the mechanics. I am REALLY happy with how the tried and true D76 at 68F/20C brings out good mid-tones, opens up shade and doesn't let the highlights get too high, and mixes nicely with the auto setting. That I-26 with its ancient coating does pretty well in near-direct sun.
I will re-scan my bests in professional mode, probably 16-bit grayscale, 2400 ...

Interesting, I like the contrast in the 8/12 (shadow tree shot) but you have
more details and tonality with the 16/24 version of same shot. I can see
where using 8-bit greyscale would be of benefit in some shots. |

Here is one more 16-bit shot with some PP to tone down the highlights in the upper right corner (really varied lighting in this simple photo):
That I-26 is pretty stinking sharp, and ol' shaky hands is getting a better grip these days ...

Nice detail in the last, I always use 16-bit for BW and 48-bit for color when
scanning. |

Great series Paul and so much better results than Walmart scans you previously posted. Plus the lack of blue/purple cast.
