Thanks for your kind words and good feedback. I did scan the images myself on a
Nikon Coolscan scanner. Can you help me figure out where the sharpening is done?
That is, is the sharpening done at scan time somewhere in the Nikon scanner driver
or later in Photoshop? I don't know how to do it. Thanks for your help.

BTW, the lenses used were the 35 Summicorn for pictures
1,2,3,4,8,9,11,15,16,17,18,21,22,24,& 25
The 135 Elmarit was used for 5,6,7,12,13,14,19,&23.
The 19 f2.8 was used for 20.
The 250 f4 was used for 10.

All number references are from left to right, then top to bottom.
