Scan resolution 4000 dpi?

2010-08-01 by Lew Schwartz

I recently completed a short class in B&W digital printing. The instructor
recommended always scanning 35mm negs at 4000 dpi. 4000 is, in fact, the max
listed in VueScan software for my Nikon LS-5000, but other settings are
allowed. I'd like each scan to be the last I'll ever have to do for a given
neg, so what are the ins & outs of this choice?
