A superb image. I have not tried my SMC Tak 200/4 on either my K10D or my K-3. I must do that and see what sort of result I get.

Here's some recent DSLR "scans" of Velvia 50 shots, done as experiments to get myself set up for slides again. Original slides all shot with the Super Takumar 20mm. (Previously posted in the film thread.)
Yes, Dave, I can see what you mean. Those images of yours definitely have a special look. I will look forward to seeing more slide scans from you and I support your dedication to film shooting. However, I can't see myself moving away from digital.
I do have a Konica Minolta Dimage Scan Elite 5400 (Mk1) film & slide scanner that has not been used for a long time and I am trying to enthuse myself to get it going again mainly just to see if it still works.
It has produced some great scans for me bit it does take a long time per frame (compared to digital). But I am retired so I am not working to a deadline, am I? I will do it...one day.
I have just been doing some research and there probably will be problems getting a driver for that scanner with Windows 10. Fortunately, I do have Vuescan which normally works with all scanners and all operating systems. I love a challenge so let's go. I shall report back.
