I tried the Canon QL-17 with Black and White film, it's sharp definitely.
However, I just developed a roll Fujifilm Superia Max color layer. The color didn't turn out very good . I used Dimage Scan Dual III to scan those color film.
Is it because my scanner or because the lens of QL-17 is not good enough to resolve the color range of the film ?
Here are few shot

G-III QL17 Yes for color film
G-III QL17 Yes for color film
I'll let a few of some shots I took in color backup my "yes, it is for color film"... (my scanner is a Dual Scan IV, and I use SilverFast SE)

I use my QL17 exclusively for color film and get excellent results.. in fact, one of my photos for the new RFF book was taken with my Canonet and Kodak 400UC.. I've since switched to Fuji NPC160 and love those results, too

JoeFriday and Grabielma,
Your photos in color are great , very vivid . So my film may be not so good or my scan workflow is not right. I am looking to buy VueScan and SilverFast , which one is better ?
Thank you.

Ahn, I'd blame it on the film. You said you used Fuji Superia, right? IIRC, that's easily found in supermarkets, which means it's not a professional film, and it spends a lot of time on the shelves. I've used the Fuji HQ 100, and the greens you get are simply sickeningly chemical.
Hence... I'd blame it on the film and the developing. The lens is optimized for any kind of film. At least my experiences with my Canonet, which I've used with slide, color print and B&W film, tells me so.
Try other film and other lab... And remember too that light has weird effects on color film that your eyes won't catch, because you don't actually see with the eyes, but with your brain!

Hey xichlo,
I have the same scanner, I think the superia doesn't work good with the scanner, I had better results with Kodak Films... If you want to shoot only for scanning pictures you'd bette go for slide films, like sensia.

Try Vuescan- I've gotten it to work well for me. Right click a neutral area to set the color balance.
The Canonet works fine. Stick some Reala or NPZ in it, remember to expose for the shadows, and you'll have some great pictures.
