[filmscanners] Re: Suggestions for scanning 4x5 transparencies

["Andre Moreau" <am1000@videotron.ca>]

This is where I would draw the line with the Epson 2450, and i'm sure others
would be more confortable with 400ppi in regards to the Epson 2450.

More expensive scanners such as the Microtek Artixscan 2500 flatbed with
about the same resolution may take you to 10 times negative size (240PPI)
for about same image quality. These are ballpark figures and your mileage
will vary, for sure!!!

Cheers,
Andre.

By stating a factor of 8, are you saying that a 300 ppi file would be the
minimum acceptable ( 2400/8)?

This kind of remind me of the enlarging lens debate. Which lens to choose.
If I remember correctly, some lens in the Rodenstock line were good for up
to 6 times negative size, others up to 8 times negatives size and then there
was one lens that you could make 20x24 prints from a 35mm negative.

And then, there was the APO lens. All depended on your intended output and
budget.

The Epson 2450 scanner is a good choice if your intended output does not
exceed 8 times negative size.
Hope that helps
Andre
