The Leafscan 45 scans 35mm at 5080 PPI...so aside from an Imacon or a Drum,
it's got the highest resolution.

Alas, it has not been made for 8 years now...but still stacks up against
even the best of them today.  It was also $16k back 8 years ago, and was the
staple service bureau and pre-press scanner.
