Agreed, but before believing you NEED to sharpen, you might want to find out
why, and it may be simply your cheapo FooYuck 16-340 f2.8 zoom, bad focus,
bad exposure or bad development...as in your images on the film ARE fuzzy in
the first place!  I think also that scanned images give people the ability
to REALLY zoom in on them, and see larger than typically viewed images...
