I just thought out that no matter the scanner, it is still the same scanned
image format from either a SWC or a 500 neg. the scanner has no idea....and
therefore should give the same quality result regardless of what took the
image....

I have no idea why the results were different.... except the lens is
different.....thus your conclusion.

Native 3200dpi scans (3 passes) on a Minolta Dimage Scan Multi Pro, the
detail in a 49MP (7000 pixels square) image was not as sharp/detailed as my
digital Ms (albeit only 18MP), tonality is a different thing ;-) However,
for me, the M Monochrom fills that gap.
