Subject: [Leica] Olympus Pen Ft

Following the recnt posts on the Pen F and its lens quality, I went out an 
shot off a roll of Kodak P3200TMAX using my PenFT. Scanning the negs in 
using my Epson 3200, I was astonished to see the level of grain and lack of 
clarity in the images. This is an example.

What am I doing wrong, or do these smaller negative images have to be 
enlarged and printed chemically to get a better quality before the prints 
are scanned?  The only other roll of film I ran through the Pen FT was a C41 
colour roll which I gave to a minilab to be developed and printed. The 
prints turned out fine.

Any suggestions gratefully received.
