can you please elaborate at soft vs sharp. I'm guessing it's not about details, but contrast?
Sure - blurry,
vs. fine. Imagine digital pixels (can we say that?) - less
vs. more - the film grain equivalent. Clumpy & non-smooth grain,
vs. super-fine grain.
Which would put Kodak Ektar off to the far-right of Fuji Color 100 on the x-axis, perhaps a little on the Calm side too. Details it is! Skj.
