Camera was stable, dogs were still, girl was moving. Interesting, I'll post a photo of the dye clouds.The original scan didn't resolve anything that could resemble clouds, grains, or anything but smooth butter!
Ah, I hadn't thought about the possibility of the film camera and DSLR both being slightly out of focus but that could be a contributing factor as you say.
Having said that I have seen elsewhere people speculating a difference in sharpness between E100 and Provia, so that could be a factor as well. I haven't noticed a lack of sharpness in either.
Resolution and sharpness are different (but somewhat related) things.
A really high resolution film can have poor apparent sharpness. A film that appears very sharp can have low resolution.
