[filmscanners] Re: TMAX 3200 scanning

["don schaefer" <send2ds@mac.com>]

I read that the Nikon LS4000 has enough resolution to scan both the
grain and the area between the grain (as opposed to "clumping grain"
problems with the LS2000 which I experienced to a disturbing degree).
This is not enough reason alone to buy the scanner, however. What makes
the most sense to me is to make a very sharp darkroom print with a wide
tonal range and scan it on a hi-res flatbed like the Epson 3200.
Result: huge file size (if you need it), minimal grain. Do what you
want in Photoshop.

It has some diffusion gate that is supposed to address the problem, but
how well, with a grainy film like 3200 is questionable.
