It is indeed very sharp. I prefer the rendering of skin tones from portra 160 still though. It is surprising how the grain is more pronounced with the portrat film.

Is that a profile you could share? I have a good friend with a Flextight, and I'm just embarking on a project that will be shot on the Ektar. Thanks in advance, Parker Stephen,

So for my information i have to set the iso to 64 to get more colour, if i use the lightmeter? Can’t wait to use this film in my 645 camera, if i can get the same colours out of it you produce.

The file size difference for the web is.... 307 K for 72 dpi and 7.51 MB for 360 which is just too large for most users and only valid for print.

If your scan is 40" x 360dpi = 14400 pixels square? Wouldn’t the 100% crop be 1620 x 1620 pixels, if I’m not mistaken here? If your scan is 40″ x 360dpi = 14400 pixels square?

Thanks for posting this. I was going to pick up a few rolls yesterday, but my local camera store doesn't have it yet. I'm wondering if my Epson 4990 will do it justice. Love that razor-tight grain.
