Digital BW, The Print

Loris

You didn't read my text carefully.  I quoted 6X6 all through my post.  Of course a flatbed won't scan better than a modern dedicated film scanner for 35mm at large print sizes.  That said, look at the results on www.photo-i.co.uk - not bad for a flatbed with 35mm and up to 10X8 the 3200 isn't that far from the quality of my Nikon LS30.

  Again,

  Quoting myself: 
  "I totally agree with Julian on his last statement adding ***for 35mm
  film*** at the end."

  Please pay attention I didn't make any statement for Medium Format or
  4x5" Large Format film. I use my 2450 with pleasure for my 6x6
  negatives.

  I'm far of being a "quality - detail/definition - sharpness freak"; I
  like clumpy grain and use a 25 years old soviet camera system (Zorki 4K
  and 35/2.8, 50/2.0, 85/2.0 lenses) for instance... But IMO, it is not
  fare to describe the Epson's as "fine scanners which scan 35mm film
  adequately for A3+ / 13x19" output size" - this is simply misinforming
  people. In the other hand these are nice for MF and/or LF films.

  Regards,
  Loris.
