Thinking about a Pentax 67 in my future, I was wondering how well a flatbed scanner would work with those larger negatives/slides ... I use a Nikon Coolscan III for my 35mm stuff (using 2700 ppi). I guess you would need at least 1200 ppi optical resolution from a flatbed to get the same quality ... And, of course the quality should be even better than 35mm stuff :-) Am I correct in assuming a flatbed + 6x7 format will not be better ? The alternative I have in mind is the Minolta scan Dual Pro, but that is quite expensive ... Any thoughts ?
