Default CST/10 on 35mm

Took the Minolta out a few weeks ago. Still getting a hang of 35mm cameras. Not sure if the lense, settings, or film has to do with never getting super sharp pics, but now I've got it down to getting great lookin' pics.

Out in a field with a white picket fence in the back ground:

They look old, like they were scanned from a magazine or something.
I like that about them.

I really like this one.

The ISO was around 80 or 100, wanted slow shutter speeds for the evening light. The lense is a 28-90mm D Quantaray.

I never remember how good 35mm looked on other cameras when scanned in. They look fine on print out, but blown up on screen, you'd think it would be MUCH sharper.

700 DPI should be more than enough, eh?

My pics of the Firebird, and the Cadillacs too were inconsistant. I used 4 rolls today shooting the Houston Art Car Parade, so god be with Kodak film, and hope their sharp. Used 100, or 120 ISO today since it was so sunny, should have no problem with clarity.
