fairly easy to use a pair of flash and be able to adjust
them for even lighting. that way you eliminate possible
motion blur from long shutter speeds and will be able
to use smaller fstops most likely too. But flatbed scanning is better

I seriously doubt you will ever get even close the quality of a 2000dpi
scan of a full size super sharp 8x10

dpi, you get approx 4 MPixel per square inch, and using 8x10 print, that
would yeild
a 320
I forgot to mention, doing the corrections in software vs optically

number of lens elements needed, not only reducing lens cost and weight,
it could IMPROVE final contrast and saturation and flare performance

DOF is a non issue with only a 1/3 to 1/2 stop max speed
