I have recently purchased an Acer ScanWit 2740S to handle my film scanning needs and have been using it with VueScan (which I love).
When scanning slides (Ektachrome 135-200) the results have been superb; both for printing (Canon s9000) and web use. My problem has been with negatives. Since I acquired the scanner, I have been scanning older negatives. These negatives were shot on a wide variety of film (generic, Kodak gold 400, gold 200, and others) and developed as cheaply as possible. Now that I have learned more about photography I intend never to use generic film and intend to develop the film at a professional lab. As such, I wanted to get your recommendations on which film has shown the least grain aliasing when scanned on a 2700dpi scanner (if the dpi matters). I have noticed that slower speed films show less grain aliasing, so I assume I should shoot 100 or slower. Is that accurate? Purchasing the correct film should solve my problem going forward, but do you have any recommendations on how to deal with the negatives I already have? I would like to get these pictures scanned in as best as possible. I know these are rookie questions, but if I don't ask, I'll never learn. Thanks in advance.
