We have to be careful what we attribute this to.  I saw an issue of Popular
Photography at the library that had an article allegedly comparing APS vs
35mm photo quality...of course trumpeting "surprising results!"  After
displaying all the proof that APS photos are sharper, less grainy, etc.,
they note, almost as an aside, that the APS film from Fuji used a new
generation film technology that had not yet been made available on their
35mm films.  Clearly we should expect that when both formats use the same
film technology, the APS will reveal some quality shortcomings compared to
the 35mm.  I believe someone alluded to this film difference a few months
back, but I don't think it was discussed at any length.
