Yeah, the Epson's problematic at best. I put up crops from the Epson here: http://www.pbase.com/rrjackson/comparison You'll notice that the 100% crops at 2400, 3200, 4800 and 6400 dpi look almost identical. I have a hard time believing that the Epson really resolves more than about 2000 dpi, despite its claim to resolve 6400 dpi. A more interesting comparison, if someone were to do scans strictly for the purposes of comparison, would be the Epson against a Nikon or Minolta film scanner. I'd actually find it pretty interesting to see how the Epson and a Nikon equipped with Aztek's Nikon wet mount holder would compare. Just to see where the juice is in the consumer market. Of course, that's still comparing a $2000 film scanner to a $500 flatbed. -Robert Jackson ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe by mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with 'unsubscribe filmscanners' or 'unsubscribe filmscanners_digest' (as appropriate) in the message title or body
