Sensia - bigger image

RSX50 - bigger image

I've tried to make these as representative of the slides as possible - at least on this monitor & PC (this means I have tweaked colours, but both images equally. I was troubled by the colour of the raw scans).
Agfa is noticeably more saturated in the greens, and overall colour is yellow-green. It's a bit too much for me, I don't like exaggerated greens. The white of the flowers are beautifully neutral in Sensia, while definitely lightly tinged yellow in Agfa. This was a bright overcast day.

These scans were done at 2700dpi (I think), and the only alteration was the unsharp mask. While there are colour differences in the resulting jpegs, these are not quite the same as in the originals. The scanner output always needs colour correction.

The Sensia (top) appears marginally sharper.The Agfa (bottom) is noticeably more yellow-green in the shaded wood of the groynes, while the Sensia is relatively understated and, again IMHO, more accurate. Also with Sensia the stones in the shade reflect the cooler tone under a blue sky. The Agfa, by comparison, gives them that yellowy tone. It's not like an 81a filter - it's more green than amber.
As for the highlights, there is a difference in colour, but not one I can say is more this or that. It's small.
