AFAIK you pictures will scan with the same clarity (which is excellent
clarity) whether you shoot with the 300 or 400 lens, so the lens decision is
not in any way tied or related to the scanning of the resulting images.

Subject: filmscanners: Enlargements & Film Sacnners
| We are new into the film scanner environment and looking for some
assistance
| in advance of making of decision on several issues. As amateur ice hockey
| photographers we shoot in very poor light. We are currently contemplating
a
| Nikon 4000 scanner to work in concert with Photoshop 6.0. We currently
shoot
| with Nikon F5's and lenses at 200/2.8 and 300/4. Our question is will our
| scanner provide the ability to crop and enlarge clearly our negatives (say
to
| 11x14), or do we need to invest in a 400/2.8 lens. Our options appear to
be
| either the 400/2.8 or 300/2.8 at half the price. In either case we will
be
| acquiring the scanner -- just hate to overspend if we can accomplish the
same
| result with a new scanner.
|
| Thanks
