Pretty amazing what a good drum scanner and operator can do to open up the dense shadows on a slide.
Here's some more praise for Peter - first is a color negative lab scan - the sky and the foreground can't be accessed by the lab. The drum scan brings back the sky and the trees dramatically:

Corposant: I'm loving those recent landscapes with the Mamiya 7, they're gorgeous (and feeding my longstanding lust for a 7).
Thanks, mawz. I am actually shipping out my 43mm lens today. The Mamiya 7 is one of the few systems where I have had real remorse when I sold it (my old Hasselblad being the other). Unfortunately, I only really felt like I used all its resolving power on shots like landscapes, and I do that less and less these days. I can rent the system for next to nothing locally, so I am sure the next time I am at the Grand Canyon, it will be with a rental.
A little undecided on which perspective I like better - input welcome:
