re: filmscanners: re: filmscanners: 2700ppi a limiting factor in sharpness



At the risk of stating the obvious, to reach the limits of your lens
resolving power you must either select a fast shutter speed or use a tripod,
otherwise the image will be somewhat soft due to camera shake. Even then
problems can arise from mirror slap and shutter vibration when the exposure
is ~1/15 second. 

The difference between a good and a mediocre lens is obvious in a 12x8
enlargement which is easily within reach of a 2700 DPI scanner. So the 4000
DPI scanner will only make a difference if a) you have a good lens, b) you
avoid camera vibration, and c) you use a fine grain film such as Fuji Sensia
100.
