Kodak Vista3 250D AHU in a Olympus OM4ti w/ 50/1.8 ("Lens Made in Japan" version for the Zuiko geeks, not that it matters since this isnt tack sharp due to some camera shake)
Island Lake, Tahoe National Forest. 4 hour exposure at f/5.6. Brought my camera and tripod back into the tent before it started raining and snowing in the morning.
Nikon FM2n, AI Nikkor 50mm f/1.8S, Ultrafine eXtreme 400, developed in LegacyPro L110 at 1:31 for 5.5 minutes.

Interesting. I just watched a couple videos on "pixel shifting" on two models of Nikon mirror-less bodies. It seems to accomplish the exact same result as Vuescan's "Sampling" setting (1X-16X). Less noise, more detail, and cleaner images.
The half frame thread has disappeared again, so I'll post these Kyocera Samuria X4 shots here. A little while ago I wanted to focus closer than the 30-32" mfd limit on the camera. I picked up a beautiful vintage Vivitar close up set in a leather case for $5

That's really good resolution for a half frame negative.
These were taken last year with my short lived experiment with a Yashica D. Loved the camera but my vision fell short of really being able to enjoy it. When I first scanned these, the conversions were muddy and flat. Part of the problem was the Yashica needed service and the shutter was dragging a bit. Tried a couple of different settings in NLP. Made some adjustments to the NS Basic Carrier and now all of the films, even CatLabs, load easily.

I didn't push the film this time, but I think the reason is the conversion using the 5DSR. I've got a theory (no oproof) that digital cameras bake in some noise reduction, and even some sharpening in their raw files. My Nikon raw files don't, but I think Canon has a different approach.
EDIT: btw I fill the frame when dslr scanning. So half frame, 35mm, 6x4.5 (not quite the correct aspect ration), 6x7 etc are all almost the same resolution - approximately 50 megapixels.
