I spent a little time doing comparison scans with the X1 scanning as a full .fff file, and the Nikon 9000 using Vuescan to make a full resolution 2 pass raw file. On import, the Nikon scan was more exposed and looked a lot softer, but by turning down the exposure, adding a little clarity and contrast, I can get them very, very close.

The X1 scan still wins on resolution of fine detail, but not so that it matters. It is faster to scan, and requires less work in LR afterwards. I'm wondering whether to sell the X1, partly because of my irritation with Hasselblad over their decision to silently discontinue the scanners and the need to keep Macs on macOS10.14 or older (the FlexColor software still runs OK in up to date Windows systems, and Hasselblad refuse to release the engineering details to Ed Hamrick, who would make VueScan work with them), and partly to make one less thing for Pippa to deal with when I no longer need it.

Chris, both are good IMO ,  may be a little more contrast with NK , I prefer Pippa's eye  nicer at right 

Best  Henry 

Chris X1= 6805x4509 size must be big around more than 120 Mo in TIFF ,  same remark for 5597x3731 in TIFF 

for NK also big size and around 150 Mo or more , that's why the film definition is good.

Via Mala, one of the ancient ways the roman soldiers and traders took with their mules to cross the Alps. The romans cut ´half galleries`into the vertical rock, some of them are still visible. More modern travelers used the little bridge you see up there;  a tough ride in a carriage... A modern bridge is under construction behind the old one. More or less  connecting one tunnel with the next.... This is summer, with only very little water in the gorge

This is great. I must have been paying too little attention the first time I viewed it. I can't stop looking now. I say, in the most flattering terms possible:... the photo has that measure of absurdity I love so much: it is as if the box has dropped in from outer space. It is too bad I will likely never get to take a stroll with you.

Best,

What a great composition. I wish I had your sense for detail. The way the "palm tree" leans to the left while the poles in the reflection lean towards the other direction makes this picture a true piece of art - at least in my way of thinking

Trying to figure out how to deal with the latest mutation, a 17p deletion, which changes the outlook a lot. 

So sad to hear. I know I can't say or do anything appropriate in this situation, but wanted to let you know that I hope you find some joy and distraction here in this thread!

Nothing special here from me. I was surprised to see this little rainbow over the Baltic Sea and didn't even notice the small plane while taking this picture.

Look at her skin - exquisite! You just don't get skin rendition like this except on film. Just a great portrait, Marc - her hair, the hint of shoulder and her inscrutable expression are perfect.

Hallo,

Look here: Interesting Leica gear

[stray cat]

This is from my first roll with my new "non-Leica" camera. There was a thread a while ago where people suggested what other (non-Leica) cameras they used. Michael Geschlecht I think it was suggested that he uses a Nikonos for those times the weather or conditions made him think twice about taking a Leica out. This seemed an eminently sensible suggestion. I'd briefly had a Nikonos III a few years ago for diving but realized that I actually preferred diving without a camera. So, following Michael's logic, I ended up getting a Nikonos V (well, two, as the first "mint" one had to be returned). Fantastic camera. The jewel-like 35mm lens can be used in or out of the water. Will be a constant companion now:
