If what you say is true, they could even "improve" the results of a too "sharp" pinhole. :)) Guillermo

TBH these dual-use flatbeds are still better for opaque material than transparency use, especially 35mm. They all use sensor elements at the moment that have about half the claimed optical resolution, and use half-steps and image processing to make up the difference. So they are still inferior to a true film scanner at the same scan resolution. Also the transparency illuminator is usually limited to 5x4.

Are these good scanners for opaque material or are they just attractive because they offer the opportunity to scan negatives? - Original Message - From: To: Sent: Thursday, March 21, 2002 12:08 AM Subject: Re: [pinhole-discussion] Epson Perfection 1250 Photo Flatbed Scanner > In a message dated 3/20/02 11:35:35 PM Central Standard Time, > pinholeren...@netscape.net writes: > > << the epson 2450 is a great scanner costing around $375.00 .

Re: [pinhole-discussion] Epson Perfection 1250 Photo Flatbed Scanner
I am thinking of getting an Epson Perfection 2450. Although more expensive, it does give greater possibilities particularly regarding negatives and slides. With the its resolution you can enlarge four times without loosing detail. This is a very big plus, particularly with 4x5 film where the prints start to approach a decent size. The printer is also very important.
