good report, i have been reluctant to try ektar b/c i like using 400 speed film and because a lot of the pictures i saw initially had a pastel cast, however your photos are looking good so far.

as to the blown highlights, that is more likely the mediocre ability of most photolab scanners. compare http://simonsays.zenfolio.com/newyor...bb3d#h3cedbb3d a DTC scan vs http://simonsays.zenfolio.com/hiresc...be12#h2797be12 Coolscan V

hi-res is 3000x2000 although the resolution is high, it's actually not that sharp. i actually stopped going there b/c the colors on my scans with fuji film were not very good. and their chrome scans are poor, how they can actually give those scans to me in good faith i have no clue.
