I don't shoot film often, but here was one of the few decent shots on my last roll. Film was Fuji 'whatever the free roll they gave me' 200, shot on a Minolta X-370 body. Lens was the Rokkor 50 f/1.4. Scanned from a 4x6 print on my crappy flatbed scanner.
I've worked through some additional stuff. Both were scanned in Silverfast SE on an Epson 4990. I'm using the Silverfast negafix app to do the reversal on the film, and it seems to be taking some control away with regards to highlights and shadows, but I'm fairly happy with these scans.

Jeesh Dr. Pablo. 5 shots, 4 cameras. You've been busy.
This isn't a recent shot, but I've just recently scanned it. It is Kodak 400HD, scanned in silverfast SE on an Epson 4990. It was shot on a Pentax ZX-50, but I'm not sure which lens. (replaced with image scanned on Nikon LS-4000 in Nikon NScan 4.02)
This one is from May. Velvia 50, Pentax ZX-50, 28-80
First 3: Death Valley. Holga 120, Fuji MS100/1000 pushed 2 stops, Epson 2450 scanner.
Last picture: Kiev-88 prism finder added to my Rollei. 35mm Agfa Vista 200 shoved inside Kiev-60 (6x6), Arsat 80/2.8 lens, bounce flash off the ceiling, Epson 2450.
Ettiene, That MF film turned out alright. It certainly looks aged. Really old film is always an interesting experiment. Its seems there was some streaking during development, but that's not terrible.

Silentlight, the Holga is always fun.
it's fun... I have a few more old rolls here, but I'm waiting for a get together at my house to shoot all my friends in vintage clothing, should be fun to look at later.
This is the first time I've shot one of the E100G films and I have to say I'm very impressed. Skin tones were very good and it held highlights really well, but still produced some punchy colors. Also, the grain appears to be very fine or at least scans incredibly well. I'm still having trouble scanning Astia. For some reason I have a real difficult time getting a scan that looks like the film.

I think Astia looks very flat when scanned so it needs some extra contrast boost to look right.
Your pictures gave me some nostalgia to film days (well not long ago, until Feb 2008 I was still shooting film) why can't we get these colors from digital?
