SV: [Digital BW] Scanning 35mm Ilford Delta 100 film

2007-09-16 by Lars Molte Jakobsen

8.5 x x11 is app. 7.5 factor, so 7.5x360 = 2700

 

I am not an expert, but I understand that anything beyond 4000 is not
practical.

 

I assume that 16 bit is a must.

 

Thanks, Lars

Emne: [Digital BW] Scanning 35mm Ilford Delta 100 film

 

Hello everyone,

I found and old Pentax Super Program film camera that still works like new
(how about that 
for quality construction)!! I had it cleaned then shot a roll of Delta 100.
The largest paper I 
print on is 11"x17" with the image no more than 15" on the long side (Epson
2400), but most 
prints are on 8.5"x11" paper.

The local photo store develops and scans negatives to a disc. At what
resolution should I 
have the negatives scanned to ensure a good inkjet print?

Thanks, Steve
