There comes a point in resolution when scanning film that all you're doing is resolving more emulsion defects too. At 2820ppi, I can see the grain clearly in ASA 100 film. Most of the benefit from 3000 ppi upwards is in grain imaging, rather than actual picture quality.


There's a contradiction in that last sentence.

I'm interested in seeing the photograph, not the grain.

Last time I checked, the photograph is built by small bits of grain.
No photograph without grain. Better grain quality equals better photograph quality.
