[QUOTE="Eyelight, post: 408394, member: 24753"] I experimented with various settings on the Epson and there is a certain DPI that beyond which there is nothing to gain. Looking back at some of my scans, it appears I settled on 4800 as the setting that was yielding as good a result as the next setting up. There is also a trade-off between resolution and time. The higher the scan resolution the longer it takes. Seems like it took about 5 minutes to scan 4 slides (or negs) at 4800 dpi. Newer equipment may do better. There are also copiers that use a digital sensor to copy 35mm film, so they work faster that scanners. Looked at them, but figured why not put the money into a decent lens instead. [/QUOTE]
