Grain -- Very Good

2400 DPI sky scan (grain sample)

Colour -- Accurate
Contrast -- Medium

Colour is a bit warm, not overly saturated and generally very well-balanced.  Contrast is medium, which gives realistic results and allows for good shadow detail.

This photo received slightly decreased exposure and no colour correction when scanned.

Sharpness -- Very Good

This is a cropped 2400 DPI scan from the image above.

The grain is on par with other 100-speed films.  Sharpness is better than higher-speed Kodaks, but not quite as good as Fujicolor Superia 100.  The details on the locomotive are not greatly hindered by the grain, and the tree branches behind are well-defined.

Overall -- A very good overall performer.  Less sharp than Fuji 100, Kodak 100 has more balanced colours.  The grain, although visible, is quite fine.
