The other day I posted a Pentax 645 photo made with the 35mm lens, scanned with a new Epson V700 scanner: http://homepage.mac.com/ramarren/photo/PAW7/19b.htm
One person mentioned that running it at 8x sampling would help improve resolution, another person mentioned that setting the negative holder to alternative heights showed a big improvement. I decided to do a set of experimental scans with this negative and Vuescan trying these two things, in combination, and trying my original 3200ppi setting against the 6400 ppi setting: http://homepage.mac.com/godders/V700rez-detail-snips.jpg Conclusion: It does seem that there is a small gain in resolution with the feet removed, and again doing the 8x sampling on the 3200 ppi scans, or am I kidding myself? There is certainly a gain in resolution going to the 6400 ppi scans albeit at a big price in disk space ... the 16bit grayscale TIFF file grows from 73.3 Mbytes to 293.3 Mbytes. Comments? I'm going to try a 35mm negative in the V700 vs the Nikon LS40 and Minolta Scan Dual II next ...
