Digital BW, The Print

I'm scanning mf - 6X9 - with an Epson 2450. I like what I'm getting and I'm
enlarging/printing to 13X19. No problem. Would I feel more confident that
I'm not leaving anything behind if I had a Nikon 8000 or a Microtek 120 -
probably. But like I said, I like what I'm getting.

Subject: [Digital BW] scanner doubts


I have been thinking about getting back into MF, especially given
what Bronica ECs are going for on Ebay at this point.  What is
stopping me is the price of a MF film scanner.  Given that recent
posts indicate that true resolution on a flatbed is 2-3 times lower
than a comparable flim scanner, I wonder how adequate they are in
practice for scanning 120 film.  Do people get 8X10 prints, for
example, that they consider satisfactory?  Put differently, would I
see an improvement versus 35mm scanned on a film scanner if I used
one of the better flatbeds and 120, all things equal.  If so, a
flatbed, which is always useful, might be a reasonable stopgap until
I can replace my LS 2000 with a true MF film scanner.
