RE: filmscanners: 2700ppi a limiting factor in sharpness?
Lens quality problems are not scanning issues. They're photographic issues.
Before scanning, you should have a negative or transparency that is sharp. If
it isn't, scanning won't improve anything. It's possible that a 2700 dpi
scanner can camouflage some lens defects, but a 4000 dpi scanner is a lot less
forgiving. If your negative or transparency isn't sharp, then the best you can
hope for is that your scanner will produce an equally bad image.
