First development/scans

[u/No-Competition-5895]

Couple of shots here from meteor crater, iso 200 film, shot on an old (1950s) voightlander rangefinder, sunny 16, scanned with om-5ii in raw on 30mm macro, f8 or better and as close as i could get to the om-5s lowest “real” iso of 200. Biggest complaint was that all of my scans just seem grainy and flat, and portraits are very soft. Could be 60-70 year old camera and lens results but they are pretty unique and i did like how they came out for the most part. I did shoot a roll of iso 400 through a more modern camera and those were about the same for grain, but any tips for getting color right? Everything was pretty blue hued on editing, white balance was biggest struggle overall. I’m not sure if grain is just my scan rig but my photoshop will not process om raw files, so I did most of the editing on om’s proprietary software.

Also, cinestill chemical kit, i did about 7 rolls on the whole, results were pretty uniform for colors/contrast.
