Thank you very much for your answers trying to help me.<br /><br /> I took the hint that Charles gave and I used a 50mm lens in reverse as a loupe. I could see that in negative the focus is definitely correct.<br /><br /> I am posting one of the photos from the last film developed.<br /><br /> <a href="https://36.media.tumblr.com/48d123b5e9716597c2db3c17bbb309c1/tumblr_o4g7db1Cfb1u03cyeo1_1280.jpg" target="_blank">Here the picture in original size</a>, with two crops in zoom 1:4 below.<br />The problem could be the fact that I use the film holder and the scanner focus is enabled for an area closer to the glass?<br />I hope that now I'll get a definitive answer to my problem!<br /><br /> <br /><img src="https://36.media.tumblr.com/3ab2fddbbd700d2d0476626f182a04a1/tumblr_o4g7db1Cfb1u03cyeo3_1280.png" alt="" /> <img src="https://41.media.tumblr.com/f761187dc1e2b25cefe0e4cbcd7f530f/tumblr_o4g7db1Cfb1u03cyeo2_1280.png" alt="" />

<p>Les,<br />thanks for the tip! I will search where I can find it in my country.<br /><br />Jos, <br />I selected those photos because I believe that they best represent the existing problem. I believe the problem is more visible. Photos that I know the correct focus exists however it is not visible in the final result, you understand?<br /><br />There is a partial focus in the image, but not in full definition. So from the beginning I thought it might be a problem on my scanner (either capacity, misconfiguration or poor skill for my part).<br /> However, I am adding two more pictures below. It helps? <br />Thanks!<br /><br /><br /><img src="https://41.media.tumblr.com/9651a2a2fc91cb7bc2dc7497027d70b4/tumblr_o4cytd0zac1u03cyeo1_1280.jpg" alt="" /><img src="https://40.media.tumblr.com/17798f1c54a7d38bc5afb8f77f34bc1d/tumblr_o4cytd0zac1u03cyeo2_1280.jpg" alt="" /></p>

<p>Hello!<br /><br />This will be my first post here, so i'm afraid that I should be posting in the wrong section. <br /><br />I would like to call for help trying to solve an incovenience that have been bothering me for a few months. <br /><br />I have some focus problem in my photos, but i cannot conclude exactly where it from. My first suspicion was obviously the scanner. I have an Epson V370 (flabet) and i know that is not the best available. At this time, i used to have a Nikon F3 and decided to scan an older negative photographed with a Canon T70 for test and compare the results. As the result came out slightly better, my suspicious fell on the lens or body of the F3 - it could be an optical problem. As I am impulsive, I bought a "new" camera (Nikon N80) thinking that my problem would be solved. However, this week i developed the first film shooted and the same problems came to light - and it made me go back to the starting point. <br /><br />Now, my questions revolves around the following doubts: would the scanner unable to present a better result or be misconfigured; would be my scanning ability poor and for this reason i cannot get satisfactory scans; or i really had bad luck and the problem is the lenses or cameras? <br /><br />I’m gutted with this situation so I'll appreciate so much any opinion.<br />I’ll leave some pictures below for your analysis. <br />And… english isn’t my first language, i apologize if there are any mistakes. <br /><br />Really thanks,<br />Marcellus<br /><br /> <br /><img src="https://41.media.tumblr.com/563365d8c1926714b92872a2c773e955/tumblr_o4cinmiT1Q1u03cyeo1_1280.jpg" alt="" /><br /><img src="https://40.media.tumblr.com/11eef9db1fcda52b710a999af5f8219b/tumblr_o4cinmiT1Q1u03cyeo4_1280.jpg" alt="" /> <img src="https://36.media.tumblr.com/d2ab2462f9701950dc4efe7ce1a821e8/tumblr_o4cinmiT1Q1u03cyeo3_1280.jpg" alt="" /><br /> <img src="http://36.media.tumblr.com/ab72fc8ccd12e7ee809f1db0bce0e4ba/tumblr_nwivfoeEjT1tfbmifo2_1280.jpg" alt="" /><br /><img src="https://41.media.tumblr.com/b9f818e89eb313da255d661edf717106/tumblr_o4cinmiT1Q1u03cyeo5_1280.jpg" alt="" /></p>
