A different dslrscancuck checking in. I've used flatbeds, dedicateds and now only scan with a digicam because I am happy with the results.
There was a lot of talk upthread about grain vs noise. I thought I'd do a little test and let y'all decide the results. Seems to me that grain is a fixed property of the negative, and noise should be random on any given scan. So I scanned the same negative twice and slightly moved the negative holder in between shots.
Film is TMax100 35mm, Rodinal 1+50. Shot with a mediocre Maxxum 50/1.7 @ 2.8 (not the sharpest lens in the box)
Scan is a6000, Nikkor 55/3.5 @ 5.6, near 1:1 mag. RAW conversion by Capture One. Sharpening zero in both capture and output. The only adjustment whatsoever is levels to stretch the histogram to the ends.
Here is the full scan (which is about 75% of the negative)
