I think you're right. I've noticed the same thing with my 645 scans at 1125 dpi: They make prints as good as 35mm scanned into much larger files. I believe that the because relative low-res scanning of medium format can't resolve grain, it gives a result similar to digital (in comparison to scanned 35mm film) in all three areas you describe: * They can handle more unsharp masking * They tolerate being "res'd up" better * They make satisfactory prints at much lower ppi settings -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
