[filmscanners] RE: umax film scanners

["LAURIE SOLOMON" <laurie@advancenet.net>]

I went to the web site and looked up the specs for the Sprintscan 120, which
is polaroids medium format scanner; and it does not give any indication that
the 4000 dpi optical is for medium format.  It just states that this is the
maximum optical dpi (which it probably is for 35 mm); I am inclinded to
believe that it probably is about 1/2 that for a 6x7 film format.

I would also check on Polaroid's support for its scanners now that it has in
essence gone out of the scanner business and is no longer making or
developing any new models.  You might want to check this lists archives for
information and experiences with Polaroid since it went into bancrupcy and
got out of the scanner and film recorder business.

That's what I needed to hear.  I'm now looking at the Polaroid 4,000dpi
medium format scanner.  I work mostly in 6x7cm, so 4,000dpi should take me
to the capacity of my printer, which is 11x14.  Thanks for the advice.
