Hi Ed,
Kodak and Fuji both have negative films optimized for scanning too (Kodak
Supra 100 and Fuji Press 400). I shot and scanned a large variety of
negative films (before passing definitively to slides :-) and I noted that
those films effectively show lesser grain aliasing then others. This is only
my opinion, I haven't any data to prove it.
Regards,
Isidoro
