are you perhaps using a high ISO on the digital camera? thus using a smaller aperture? what Shutter Speed did you have with the E100, as it is a slow film by todays standards.
Is it just E100 that is soft for you with this camera and lens combination, or other films too?
Now you get to see the effect of lens profiles in digital cameras vs uncorrected use with film cameras.
Electronic "enhancements" and corrections on a lens profile in digital get rid of problems film shows without remorse.

The image has a very narrow depth of field. The part of the image that should be in focus show evidence of edge enhancement, especially with the halo around the woman's cap.
Is the slide itself soft focus? or is this just a poor scan? The image seen here is less than 2 megapixels, it is never going to have the sharpness of a well-done digital image or appropriately scanned transparency.
The digital file above has been post processed and I used the lens I shot for applying lens corrections. Softness was there before the corrections were rendered.
+1Is the grain sharp?
Exactly. Focus was about a foot in front of the dogs.Your AF system is front focusing.
The scan actually looks rather "soft" from the enlargements - I can't make out any crispness in the grain structure at all. Even with an out of focus image, grain structure should be clear and crisp, not soft and "mushy"; add in some front focus and the sharpness of the final image, will obviously deteriorate somewhat.
Yes, the scan is very soft. So soft it's hard to say if the focusing was on target.
The only other slide film I have shot so far has been Fuji 100f with a Rolleiflex and the images were so sharp they looked 3D.
I think I’ll put a roll of Black and white film and shoot my focus target. This will tell me if there are any issues related to the camera.
Shooting at box speed
This is the first roll of film shot with this body. I only shot black and white film with my previous 1V. At that time, I had the first version 24-105, which was definitly softer than the new version I'm shooting with now.

There is a slight bit of edgeanhancement from my post precessing and export of sceen sharpnes. The slide looks identical to my scan. Here are some 100% crops without any sharpness applied. See the sidwalk focus area looks like mud.

Also, is the image sharp when you magnify the slide itself.
The film's grain is very, very fine. Maybe the scanner is having trouble focusing.
As usual, don't blame the film. Look somewhere else. If there was a problem with this film, which is in fact quite saturated and contrasty, then there would be thousands of complaints already, not a random one here and there. Things look out of focus to me, but there might also have been a cold-weather condensation problem on the lens and/or viewfinder.

Soft lenses and missed focus will be VERY apparent with slide film.
I use a DSLR for scanning and my set up needs to be changed as the room for error is great. I have determined this slide didn't get focused properly.
