Ok, I will concede that that is possible, although that has not been my
experience. I found I had to employ Genuine Fractals to increase the dpi
from the raw around 2880 dpi that my Minolta Multi Scan scanned 35mm at to
print better than merely acceptible prints at 8x10 to 13x19 with cropping.
I doubt if the current batch of flatbed scanners with their alledged optical
resoultion of 1600 dpi and better will even do as good a job as the old film
scanners at 2700 and 2880 dpi despite the hype even if what you say about
your experiences with the film scanner is true.

I've got some nice 13x19 in prints from my old 2700dpi nikon, even with some
cropping. 4000dpi is better, but only about 20% better.
