Yes, the 3200 does not scan 35mm well. Sharpness is a big problem. The most
I've managed to get is a okay 8x10 from 35mm. For MF and 4x5, grain and
sharpness is excellent.

that when scanning 4x5, 5x7, or 8x10 the 1600 and 2450 seem to produce very
useable scans. However, with my xPan frames, the scanners fall short. I can
slip the xpan films into the ss4000 and see the real sharpness of the frame,
then compare it to the flatbed scans - very disappointing comparison.
