The V700 does darn well for a flatbed scanner. This page might be useful ...
http://homepage.mac.com/godders/V700_35test/ The V700 resolution seems to be about 2600-2800 ppi, but both the Minolta Scan Dual II and Nikon Coolscan IV ED pull out more detail and grain (and defects...) at their nominal 2820 and 2900 ppi resolution spec. Sometimes the V700's slight defocus is a plus in masking dust and minor scratches, however. :-) Godfrey On Nov 12, 2007, at 2:52 PM, Lasse Karlsson wrote: > Thanks, Godfrey, > > Have you made, or do you (or anyone) know of any tests on how the > V700 does > in scanning negatives compared to "dedicated" film scanners. > > Lasse -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
