I didn't want to post this in the Critique section, partly for fear of being completely torn to pieces, but also because I don't know how this will show up on your monitors since it looked very different on the monitor of the computer I scanned it into than the monitor of the one I'm using to post it now. I haven't really got the whole calibration business sorted. Anyway hopefully you'll see something that's reasonably similar to what I'm seeing; please feel free to critique in any way.
This is from a pretty boring set of shots I took yesterday in the local woods. I couldn't find much to shoot so decided simply to test the meters on my cameras. This one was taken using Delta 400 with my Minolta Dynax 5 (35mm) and standard 50mm f1.7 lens, and scanned with a CanoScan 8400F flatbed. Delta is of course a b&w film, hence my use of quotation marks for 'conversion'. This is the photo as scanned from neg and inverted...

And here's the same image with 'conversion' in Channel Mixer...
I think I prefer the first one, because of the colouring on the leaves and also I think the effect of the sunlight shining through is more obvious. What do you think? Also what do you think of the conversion? Thanks for looking!
Edit: Doh... I forgot about the max pixel count... fixed now...
