I agree with his suspicion and your agreement :-). Seriously, I scan my 35 mm
negs at 4000 ppi, which yields a file of about 55 megabytes. As a test, I've
tried scanning at 2000 ppi, which produced a file of 20+megabytes. A print from
the 55 megabyte file was obviously superior in terms of detail sharpness and
color gradation.
