[filmscanners] Re: New Epson 3200 Photo

["bob geoghegan" <bobgeo@dgiinc.com>]

It'll be interesting to see what real resolution of the new Epson delivers
under testing.  Can flatbed optics actually deliver the equiv. of a 3200
dpi filmscanner?  Or will the 2700-2800dpi class of filmscanners have it
beat?  (I'd bet on the latter).

Lloyd's got a good point about the limits of the tranny lid.  If only it
were larger....
