Perhaps the Nikkors are not as saturated. Others may have tested them head to head. I have not.
If you look at the work of Jack Dykinga of the years (he has produced many books here in US), he moved from Nikkors (in combination with some Fuji and Rodenstock) to Schneiders and one can see a change in the overall saturation and color. But this may be in part due his almost exclusive use of Velvia after a time.
I think the choice of film contributes to the amount of saturation. I prefer Velvia with the Nikkors. Also note that I found the Aztec Premier scans very sharp but sometimes density and saturation were not correct, meaning dull. The three images above on my screen look much duller than the original chromes and prints from the scans. When I am in control of my scans with the V750, I get more accurate color and satuation too.
Thank you.

I'm agree with you. In color transparency film based photography, the film choice is essential to get the final results you like, because each film has its personality in a more pronounced way than B/W films (unless in "straight shots", without working in the lab).
Thank you.

hiend61 & pdmoylan Thank you for answers.
I have , addition to Nikon Lenses , Schneider lens super angulon47XL , super angulon65/5.6 , super angulon75/5.6 , super angulon90/5.6 , symmar-s100/5.6, apo-symmar210/5.6 and sironar-N 135/5.6 .As well as Fuji velvia film, also shot on Kodak film . But I found that it makes a very poor color . Or maybe my lens, it is . This is also not related to the scanner. It can be seen in the original slide film . Of course your images have good colors . But I do not know, original film is the same modes . Or you've edited it .I think that coating and formulation the German lenses, causing color is saturated. I also have experience with my Hasselblad Lenses .

Isaac, do you set the camera up and wait for the right combination of people to assemble before you click the shutter? I assume lots of people turn toward the camera to look and ask questions.

Yep. I see people doing something, set up my camera (by which point the original people have left), then wait for more people to do the same thing. At places like this there's two typical reactions to the camera:
"Can I go over there? I don't want to interfere with your picture."
"Oh, yes, I'm not quite ready, go ahead."
And then, ignoring me, they get in position, I'm ready, and I take the picture.
-or-
"Say, how old is that camera?"
"It's less than two years old."
"Oh. ..."
Re: Large Format Landscapes
I love your work Isaac. The first one is super weird.

I'm not as enthusiastic about this one as I am about the other two from Colorado.

Re: Large Format Landscapes
Isaac,
"I'm not as enthusiastic about this one..."
I think this one has more social comment to it. I don't know about Ship Rock but it seems it is a popular park or natural feature. In your image I see what we do to such special places with paving and kiosks.
