Under these lighting conditions, reds saturate into almost a Technicolor red, like we used to see in the old movie musicals. You can see it most clearly in the second and third photos. That's the Supra, I think, since I've seen it before. I'm not sure if a bit of underexposure would help or not. I think the scans are OK since in the full size images the grain looks sharp. I wonder if the older 28 mm lens might be soft wide open compared to the new ones and/or there may have been some camera motion when I took the picture. If you have any other thoughts on the softness, I'd like to hear them. Nice cars, B.T.W.
