Film IS expensive, but I love it. I had film developed in a branch of Tesco for £1 a roll very successfully for years - so not that isn't necessarily the problem.

I borrowed a Konica Hexar AF - I used one a few years ago and I was amazed at the clarity and sharpness - however, the rolls of film I have just scanned look flat and muddy, lacking that beautiful sharpness. I bought some Kodak Colour Plus film from eBay - 200 iso - it doesn't expire until 2020. It was cheap, though. Seems to be plenty of it around. I had the film developed in a Supermarket lab to save a few ££ I also have a thin, good quality filter on the lens for protection- never made any difference before. I have attached two images - I zoomed in twice on the image on my Mac and took screen shots. Here, I would expect real clarity - it's grainy, muddy and flat - no sharpness. I'm guessing it's poorly stored film/poor developing? Film is so expensive to shoot, so it's a process of elimination before I shoot more, hopefully with better results! Thanks
