Product/studio/food-ey style image and the chromes look great- beautifully sharp, great blacks and saturation. When looking at the film on the light table they appear brutally sharp under the loupe! The disconnect comes when digitizing the film. I have never run across an image that will not appear sharp no matter how I try and scan it.

I am using silverfast on a nikon 9000 scanner. They are not wet mounted scans, but the film lays just as flat as any other 2 1/4 film I've scanned with much better results in the past in regards to sharpness.

I placed the autofocus point all over the frame and still couldnt get a clean focused image.
Is there a manual focus adjustment in silverfast? or a way to compensate focus in the software?

you gotta be careful with studio lights

Color fidelity and sharpness are spot on in the film- studio strobes worked as expected and color temps were right on at/around 5500k.
