The edited version of No 1 is superb. I really like the staircase image too, as well as the top of stairwell shot. The edit of No 1 is the stand out though. Lovely.

I often find a curves adjustment in Lightroom improves the scans no end. Rather then the usual S-shaped curve I use on 95% of my digital images I find a simple convex curve (drag the centre of the curve downwards) works very well in most cases.
I find scanning a bore and most of the time rely on the commercial ones. Only if I need high res scans for printing or a competition do I bother to do it myself, and then only for 35mm. I'm about to send a batch of 120 images off for hi-res commercial scanning (for a competition) but it is horribly expensive and only something I'll do once in a blue moon. One day I'll get a medium format scanner like the V700. Probably shortly after I finally succumb to the temptation of a Pentax 67...

Nice images but the these scans seem a little thin for Velvia which I normally associate with very saturated bright images. Slides are difficult to scan though, and the scans of my Velvia images lack the punch and depth of the originals. Do they look more colourful on the lightbox?
I too like the infinity shot.
I agree it is nice to see some MF stuff here. Mine are taken with non-Pentax gear (a Lubitel or a Yashica) and so don't get posted here.
Best wishes, Kris.

I was scanning some of my Venice negatives but accidentally did this one as a colour negative instead of a BW negative. I quite liked the accidental result. What do you folks think?
Best wishes, Kris.

But you wouldn't see it in the viewfinder because you are viewing wide open!If I stop my Sigma macro down to f/32 muck on the lens does show in the final image.
