Yeah. I like having auto focus, but for film scanning, I dont think focus would work anyway. And its not like you cant use manual focus on Fuji cameras. Since the Laowa is about 30 percent cheaper, and everyone here says it is slightly sharper, I might go this option. I still might get the 30mm just to have it, but for film scanning, the Laowa seems to be the best fit. As long as I can resolve well enough on the 40MP sensor.

Well, whichever you buy and scan with, we'd be interested to hear of your experience for slide scanning.  And if you do end up buying both and trying both, I guess the comparison would be useful too.  Please let us know how they go....
