I am choking at the possibility of scanning once. You are planning
to scan twice?
I'm on my third round of some stuff.
My first film scanner was an Agfa Arcus 1200 which goes up to
1200ppi. I wanted something affordable that could also handle medium
format.
After that I bought an HP S20 - 2400ppi but 35mm only.
In January of this year I somehow managed to convince myself to cough
up a cheque big enough to buy a Minolta Multi Pro. If you need to
ask how big those files are, then you don't have enough memory.
I'm not hugely fond of scanning because it involves choosing my
favourite slides - so I tend to become very fussy about them and
realise that I don't like quite so many of them after all :)
I've actually been a bit lazy in rescanning my S20 stuff because the
existing files print very well at A4 size. A couple that were shot
on fast film really need the Scanhancer treatment so I'll rescan them
someday... but one of them is a neg and I *hate* scanning negs,
despite most of my best macro work being done on them.
