Austin, The image shows a grave at the cemetery with lots of fallen leafs and trees, an almost incredible amount of finest detail, shot with an efke 25 b&w neg film and a Konica Hexar with very sharp lens at f8 - I was surprised myself, but I conclude that a) the guy doesn´t know how to use his scanner (would be strange) b) the Nikon doesn´t give consistently sharp results or c) the extra 1100dpi is not as essential as some may make us believe. I think its a mixture of b) and c)
