I guess that D range is a deal yes, Piezo is very demanding of your scanner. Or rather, it will show as much detail as you give it. For 35mm a lot of people use the Polaroid sprintscan 4000 but a 2700 dpi Nikon is fine. > > - one more, what is the biggest print (enlargement) possible starting with a > 35 mm negative and 2700 dpi scanner as the Nikon LS 2000 ? I have gotten a decent 16x12 out of a 2400 dpi scan, but it was definitely pushing it a bit. But it's somewhere round there. - -- John Brownlow http://www.pinkheadedbug.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
