I scan my 6x7 negs on an Epson 3200, using the film holder. A 3200 dpi scan in 48 bit yields a file of well over 200 megabytes. 18x13 prints on my Epson 1200 are very finely detailed and extremely sharp. My only bitch would be that the printer doesn't always handle shadows as well as I'd like. But I think that's a general inket problem. I'm looking to upgrade to the 2200 as soon as this thing dies.

My thanks to everyone who replied - both on and off list. Great info!

A couple more questions -

How is the Takumar 55 f 3.5 ? Seems to be less expensive than the 55 f4...

For 6 x 7 users - how are you out putting your stuff? I have a Microtek flatbed scanner but assume that I'd need something better for prints - maybe a scanning service? The local lab charges $40 a frame for a high res scan - I hope they are on the high side...
