Thanks for responding Christopher,
Of course I will continue to scan 35 with the ss4000, and I agree with you that when scanning 4x5, 5x7, or 8x10 the 1600 and 2450 seem to produce very useable scans. However, with my xPan frames, the scanners fall short. I can slip the xpan films into the ss4000 and see the real sharpness of the frame, then compare it to the flatbed scans - very disappointing comparison.
So, for me the test is, can you achieve sharp grain in your scans on the 3200?
I assume, when you say, ³I donıt recommend the 3200 for 35mm² itıs because, indeed, you cannot achieve grain sharpness; correct?
Fond regards,
