            Yeah. I don't use Wal-Mart anymore.
This is to show how important equipment choice is when archiving images or restoring damaged originals. 
In this case, both of these were restored as much as possible given what I had to start with and my skill level at the time.  The Fuji version I personally scanned about 2 years before the Minolta version.
Some points of comparison for these two include PPI resolution, density range, color range, film curvature focus, shadow and highlight clipping, grain processing, dust and scratch removal (IR or lack thereof), and others.

Also this goes to show that if you want it done right, you absolutely must do it yourself! There are so many variables that go into these things, you almost have to write them down to remember what to look for.

I wish i could afford a Hasselblad Flextight, but I'm not even sure if the HB even does infra-red cleaning.

These may be oversaturated, but really it's just a matter of taste.  I have another scan of this that's less saturated.

By the way, it is my express opinion that the 5400-II is the holy grail of shadow and highlight detail, with it's impressive density range.
