Okaaay.

Scanning three test slides I shot with my Voigtlander Bessa 3A on slide film - because slide was a better test of the meter.

6400dpi on the 750, multi-exposure. This takes a while ... might only scan one tonight, actually, since I just realised I had scanned the first two to JPG, which sort of defeats the purpose, doesn't it? Silly Vuescan and/or silly Colman.

To my eyes - and it's more obvious when you're not posting JPEGs - the ls-50 is much sharper and contrastier than the v750.

And practically, using slide mounts gives the v750 an easy time, since the mount holds the film flat while the standard 35mm holder doesn't hold negs flat. I could probably get better results tweaking adaptor heights and so on, but that gets old really fast,

Whether any of this matters is another matter, though there's not much point paying big money for lenses and then losing all their contrast and sharpness in the scanner.
