    =Why I love my ME Super=
    Hi folks.
    The more I use my ME Super, the more I love it. Its small size with a small lens makes it easy to toss into the bag and go...It is durable and does not need to to pampered like DSLR's do....Besides, as I was waling through Elysian Park yesterday on my way to Hollywood to shoot a roll, I got to thinking....This ME Super also makes a good weapon...as does the K1000's...Anyway, here are a few of yesterdays images...ME super with Tokina 28mm F/2.8 lens, loaded with Fuji ISO200 speed standard film.

    I went to the Kodak theature where the ''stars'' walk the red carpet..

    Here is inside the Kodak theature..I must admit, I am surprised this shot came out..I was wide open and as slow a shutter as I could stand for hand holding...It is pretty dark in there, or should I say..''bad light''

    Folks,
    Thanks for the comments. When I got home and looked at the images on my calibrated monitor, I was disappointed in what I saw..


    Anyway, Here are three I scanned myself using my HP G3010 with vuescan software.
    I scanned at 300dpi (quick scans) and resized to 800 pix to fit the forum rules.
    First thing I noticed is the pretty film grain is back :)
    What are your thoughts? compared to the CVS scans?

    Wonderful shots Javier. That 2nd shot reminds me of when I lived there in the late '60's only then the buses had lots of flowers and peace signs painted on them!!!! hahahaha

    CVS scans are appalling in comparison.

    Yep, that was my though as well. Turns out I need to request that they do NO PP work on them...I told them it should be the other way around.
