RE: Future of Photography (was filmscanners: real value?)
Unless it is color. Then it would be:
24mm/25.4=.944 inches x 5080 = 4800
36mm/25.4=1.417 inches x 5080 = 7200
4800x7200x3(color channels) = 103.68 meg 8 bit image
103.68 x 2 = 207.360 meg 16 bit image
However, you should be able to get by with a much smaller resolution scan
(<4000 for sure).

It is quite simple to calculate, and, of course, depends on what film you
want to try to 'emulate'. At 5080DPI Plus-X does not reveal grain. That
means 5080 x 1 x 5080 x 1.5 = 38.7 megapixels.
