Re: filmscanners: 35mm film versus medium-format scan quality (Epson 2450)
Austin,
The image shows a grave at the cemetery with lots of fallen leafs and trees,
an almost incredible amount of finest detail, shot with an efke 25 b&w neg
film and a Konica Hexar with very sharp lens at f8 - I was surprised myself,
but I conclude that a) the guy doesn´t know how to use his scanner (would be
strange) b) the Nikon doesn´t give consistently sharp results or c) the
extra 1100dpi is not as essential as some may make us believe.
I think its a mixture of b) and c)
Greetings bernhard
