I have finally got around to scanning some of my slides of the
autumn season. Please see and comment at

Any comments welcome! All of the slides taken on Kodak Ektachrome

Shel,
Here are some simple dynamic range formulae: The analog/digital converter
(ADC) in a scanner puts out an integer. For a 16-bit converter, the range
is between 0 and 2^16-1 (65535). This range is typically linear, which
means that, for example, a value of 100 is twice as bright as 50.
Now that I've taken the plunge (albeit cheaply) in MF, I'm interested in a
scanner with a transparency adapter that will scan 120 film. Any
suggestions? Also, wouldn't 1200 dpi in MF be about the equivalent of 4800
dpi in 35mm, or am I having a senior moment?
Bill, KG4LOV

Slide film may have less dynamic range than print film, but it's also likely
to be more dense and have greater contrast. A scanner with a higher dynamic
will benefit slides as well.
