scanner comparison (was Microtek 120tf film scanner questions)

2005-03-11 by Paulo Baptista

Hi,

I've been following this thread with interest, since we're going to 
purchase a medium-format film scanner for our fine art school's digital 
photo lab. We're considering the Microtek 120tf and the Minolta DiMAGE Scan 
Multi Pro. We currently use a Nikon 4000 ED for 35 mm film, and will be 
scanning B&W, color negs and slide film, and printing them on an Epson 7600 
with Ultrachrome inks (we're just starting to use QTR to print monochrome 
images).
Does anyone have any experience/suggestions about comparing those two 
scanners (regarding issues like sharpness, film flatness, dynamic 
range/shadow detail, etc?)

Thanks in advance,
Paulo Baptista
