?? 200 dpi ?? A 200 dpi scan of a 6x7 negative is barely a 0.2 Mpixel output file.
A typical good scan of a 6x7 negative in a proper film scanner should be at between 2400 and 4000 ppi, netting approximately 5480x6330 pixels (35Mpixel) to 9130x10550 pixels (96 MPixel) resolution. "...the comfortable flow of using the 35mm DSLR that I've had for 45 years..."…! Wow! Pentax has been making DSLRs since 1973? What did they cost back then? I mean the Pentax film SLRs were always considered a bargain… :-) LOL! Funny typos, Larry. :-) The Pentax 6x7 is a lovely thing, and the results from one should easily stomp a 6 to 12 Mpixel DSLR … but it's a good bit bit more work to use compared to any 35mm derivative SLR (or DSLR), regardless of whether that might be APS-C or FF format. It can produce outstanding results, if you are willing to put in the effort. Either it's worth the effort for you or it isn't.
