    • You’re down in that rabbit hole only for 6 weeks now and already excel at it. Yes, proper scanning makes all the difference. Corners and grain should be tack-sharp.   Look at the skin tones, impossible to achieve digitally. Particularly true when regarding the endless individuality of human complexion.   BTW, I find your New York street portraits eminently inspiring. Do you print? It’s super satisfying to experience the film colours and texture on a print. It looks timeless in a way that digital cannot replicate no matter what. And because of that charm you can print 35mm scans relatively large, say 33 inch long edge, and won’t do that 'where’s the detail?' peeping. The missing detail is sublimated to the viewer's imagination, as there’s no wall between them and the picture, as would be the case with digital, which only can win you over with curious content.  (That’s why digital landscape photography is kitsch in 98% of the cases because people try to kill the soullesness of the shot with endless editing.)   I know your are preferring colour (only by telling of what I see on this forum), but 5222 DoubleX is extraordinary for portraits. No monochrome camera comes remotely in that stock's ability to present skin tones in such a tangible way (with some gamma tweaking, you’ll get that killing silver sheen on the skin’s highlights). Bet you’re already contemplating an M6.     
    • I mean, do you print and frame them? Larger than A4 in that case? Do you mainly look at them yourself? Present them on internet? Present them on some kind of screen at home? I used to make some prints in up to A4 before. And the alternate them in several wall-hanged frames at home. The last print I did was several years ago now. Now I mainly present them on a screen at home, on this forum and some even on Facebook. That's it. I am not so very "dependant" on getting likes or similar responses*), but mainly just to share what I have done with others and to look at them myself. *)Because of that I don't think so much about what kind of images that watchers might give me "thums-up" for, "copy" ideas that i see made by others or such. Some internet-photo-groups (maybe mostly on FB and the like) consist of very much "same-same". I.e. I notis what kind of images that gets many "likes" and I therefore post similar ones myself. ("Flashy-sunset" is one unavoidable category.)
    • That won’t work for me. Mind you I’ve just left it set to ISO as well as having a custom button for it as well. (aarrgghh) So far it’s not getting in the way at least. Gordon
