Thats what I meant when I said "it'll do scans twice the size of the Nikon" Maybe you mean something different for resolution. Velvia can be tough to scan if you have a really dense piece of film. Maybe thats why I use negative film a lot. Glad to hear that your Nikon works so well for you. Sounds like we have two contenders for best. Did you get the Epson 1600? I'm waiting to hear how they are in real world use. Henry
