I've been using a 2820 ppi Minolta Scan Dual II since 2000. Works
great, I've made quite a few 13x19" presentation prints with it. Much
better than a dedicated flatbed scanner with the same pixel resolution
... due mostly to the focusing lens of the film scanner and its more
precise film handling. The Scan Dual IV should be even better, and is
not overly expensive.

An interesting concept. Nice framing and composition. I can't help on
the film scanner, although even a good flatbed with a photo adapter
like an Epson 3200 is better than scanning from a bad print.

Hi,
I finally managed to scan some pictures. I wanted to share this one:
http://www.vollholz.de/bilder/peso/winterspiel.jpg
It's more for the idea and the issue, technically it looks awful at
the
moment. As I learned, my local lab does not scratch films, but in
their
minilab any material that isn't digital is first scanned and then
printed from the scan input. I looked at the print with a loupe, fine
details show artifacts and halos. contrast is also annoying. So the
scan
I made from the print was quite low in quality, I hop the neg is
better.
That makes me think of purchasing a film scanner, any
recommendations? I
remember that somebody was using a minolta scan dual, I was thinking
of
the version 4. That seems to be a compromise between price and image
quality.
Thanks for looking and any comments,
pancho
