I have read elsewhere that 4000 is sufficient for most films, and for these films, 5400 will not gain anything. Now the films I use are color negative professional such as NPS, and Kodak films including Portra and Ultra, with speeds of 100-160. I enlarge to 12"x18". If you print 18x12 at 300dpi, then the Nikon just squeezes in there with a little crop margin. But if you print at 360 dpi on an Epson, or at 400 dpi on an Agfa d-Lab.2 or newer Durst Lambda, you need the extra 5400 resolution. |

That's a point many manage to avoid considering ... scanning is always for the output. Around here, one is more likely to run into Frontiers, Kodak and Noritsu's. I don't know if there is even one Agfa in the greater Montreal area. You can usually set the print density lower for larger prints, and since the print is viewed at a greater distance, that lower print density won't be perceptible.

Today, she told me that there are about 1000 such slides, a bit more than I imagined. Is there any automation available for this? As mentioned elsewhere, you can purchase a feeder for the Nikon that will hold 50 slides and it will go through them while you sleep. I'd also suggest that many peoples collections of Kodachrome can stand a good editing before scanning. That is, there may only be 50 images worth scanning in the whole pile. Cheers, Alan [...] Good advice, which I will mention to my wife. Unfortunately, we share a common trait: we are both incurable pack rats. With regard to the technology, at appears that there is a trade off: automated operation vs higher resolution. Too bad. Mike. |
