Interesting again Don, your Nikon D2X shots are definitely better. I once borrowed an Ohnar (or similar) slide copier to make a copy of a slide onto colour print and remember being disappointed by the results at the time due to the very high contrast but your results are so much better. I have got an old dedicated slide/negative scanner and on scanning an old colour negative was amazed how much more detail could be brought out of a colour negative, especially in the shadows, compared to the standard print that came back from the processor. Your experiment is not just scanning on the cheap but excellent scanning on the cheap.
