Take a dud neg, or even a piece from the tail of a processes roll, take a
needle and scratch an X into the emulsion (corner to corner across a film
"frame") then scan that. It should give some idea of how sharp your scan is.

BTW, Are sure to look at your scans at good screen resolutions? Odd number
magnifications (i.e., 33%, 67%, etc) give very poor renderings. 100% is
truest, then 50%, and so on down. (more or less anyway).
