AFAIK you pictures will scan with the same clarity (which is excellent clarity) whether you shoot with the 300 or 400 lens, so the lens decision is not in any way tied or related to the scanning of the resulting images. Maris - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL

It is my understanding that flatbeds generally do not pick up the detail that a filmscanner does at the identical resolution. Since there is less detail there are more areas of 'sameness' which, I assume, uses less space for the JPEG algorithm to describe, whether compressed or uncompressed.
