Re: OT: Having to buy a scanner - clarification

[Boris Liberman]

I think I need to clarify myself here.

Epson 2400 can give me roughly 8MP from purely optical scan. I've seen 
the results and they are quite impressive. It can also do very good 
scans from proper b/w film, such as Kodak TMax 100. I wonder whether 
such scanner is enough for a semi-serious amateur like me, or do I 
have to buy Epson 3200. This one has roughly twice the resolution, and 
is said to have proper dynamic range. But $450 is a lot of money for 
me and I don't see immediate good that would come out from choosing 
3200 above 2400...

Any advise will be greatly appreciated.
