RE: [QuadtoneRIP] scanner recommendations

Maximum optical resolution is listed as 7000 dpi.  Frankly I have never gone that high and I'm pleased with my prints.  I bought mine from B&H in NY although it's widely available from major outlets.  Here's the link to the manufacturer:

Thanks George does it give good enlargements?

I am very pleased with my Optek 8200i.  Comes with carriers for 35mm negs and slides and sells numerous places below $500.  Mine came bundled with Lasersoft's Silverfast scanning software.

Thanks for the suggestion but that one is a bit out of my price range. Lol. Looking to spend more like 500 to 700.

I have a lot of 35 mm and medium format film to scan and wondering if anyone can make a recommendation. I am a fine art photographer that will  be displaying prints from 8x10 to 16x20 . I am not interested so much in speed  of the scan but highest resolution for printing.  Also do you think the scan will come close to enlarging with a schnieder lens?

 

Getting tired of dealing with the chemicals I just picked up an EPSON P600 to get some archival quality to get me started.
