35mm scanner, resolution needed?

2002-12-17 Thread J. C. O'Connell
I can see from my 35mm 100 speed film negs that the 2400 dpi scanner I'm using is inadequate. Will 4800 ppi settle the matter once and for all or should I be waiting until 6400 or 7200 ppi scanners arrive to upgrade? JCO

depends on what you are shooting. i am pretty sure that with anything color, 4000dpi is as high as it is makes sense to go (and very rarely). bw is a different story though -- tmax100 seems to have frightening high res (although i don't have a lot of experience with it). best, mishka I can
