  1. And as pointed out, the Noritsu introduces weird noise patterns (although it doesn't seem to be your problem). See comparison of the Coolscan and the Noritsu with the Mamiya 7II and Portra 400. Also A7RII.
  2. Note in your images the lack of mid grays. This is the midtones response test.
  3. The resolution advantage of TMAX over Acros is irrelevant. In 35mm format they both resolve approximately the same as my 42MP Sony A7RII. Trix resolves much less but I like it the most. The wavelength response is very different. If you look at the 100% crops above, TMAX outpaces Acros on the lamp in the far back. Acros outpaces Tmax on the grass.
  4. Tmax is also at least half a stop slower. Here is the low contrast test.
  5. To your question about Ilford: Acros' grain structure is shaped like TMAX. I extensively tested both side by side. Tmax has slightly smaller grain and has slightly more detail. Acros is sharper (so often scans of soft contrast scenes may show more detail than Tmax) and has more interesting tonality.
  6. It has been a lifetime since I posted but this showed up and I have just the example in one of my film tests. Your example looks to me as it was pushed at least 2 stops. Yes, it is overly grainy and the midtones are gone. This is a 50% crop of a 35mm frame. Tmax for comparison. I shoot Trix more than Tmax because the tonality is unmatchable.
