Ok. Here's a fun one to ponder. The question: what the fudge is happening here? The setup - I used to live in Japan. At that time, Fuji Neopan 400 was between Â¥250-300 for a roll of 36 exposures. It was silly cheap. And it was a good film (RIP). I shot a lot of it. At any rate, I was recently doing a bunch of re-scanning of old negatives and to my dismay, I discovered that many of my old Neopan 400 negatives are decaying in a bizarre way - small cracks and marks in the emulsion.

I'm going to guess a temperature differential during processing. You may not have noticed it at the time, and a print may have smoothed out the edges of the defects - like some good enlarging lenses do to grain. You may be able to fix it with a Photoshop Fourier Transform plugin, because it could likely be a pattern that can be mathematically corrected.

I finished the roll of film (Kentmere 100 @ 400 iso - over developed in xtol) from the Yashica Electro 35 GT I fixed. Though I can hear the shutter change speeds depending on the ambient light (auto shutter speed so only aperture priority). The result was the thinnest images I have ever achieved.
But, the good news is that it was consistently the wrong exposure. So, I will do another roll of 400 @ 100 iso setting. Interestingly, I was able to salvage 12 images out of literally thin air - or at least it looks like clear film base to the naked eye. I wanted to see if the 45mm f1.7 Yashinon-DX worked as good as it looks.

Those look remarkably good! I assume the blurry stuff on the toddler are due to the thin neg?

I think the blurry bits are my Photoshop actions that I wrote using blending modes to add density - specifically, "multiply". They can accentuate something insignificant, and make it stand out. I should have used the history brush on those areas. All the negatives were scanned on a LS-4000 that I fixed using Vuescan. Vuescan has "linear" adjustments that look like a foreign language to a "curves" dialog addict like me. I think what is happening is the luminosity range is extremely compressed, but in 16 bit raw - I can find enough midtone adjustment to make something out of nothing. Black and white points must be literally right next to each other. I saved one of the representative scanner settings in case I ever run into such thin negatives again - hopefully not.

Yeah! The sad magic of the modern American shopping mall. Most of the stores closed...hardly a soul in the place. So big and spacious.

Then, for comparison sake (versus a dreamy, soft lens like the Artizlab) the sharpest 35mm lens you can use on any film body (sharper than the 35 Summilux...sharper than the Zeiss 35/1.4 ZM...uncomfortably sharp...ouch).
