Ferrari analogy.I would expect both to handle about the same at 25 mph. Right now, I both look and feel like a pretty dumb guy.Īs for the Miata vs. After all, it was my market research that led to the purchase and I would look like a pretty smart guy.

Keep in mind that I OWN both scanners and paid full price for both. If both are capable of scanning at 2400 dpi, I would expect similar results.

(Slightly embarrassed by the original comparison.relieved by the sequel.) Whatever it takes, make sure that negative is flat! Good scanning technique will yield really good scans! Repeat.FLAT!!!If you need to mount on glass.mount on glass. Negatives scanned on the Epson V700 MUST be flat. What a relief! What does all this mean? In a nutshell. The Nikon image was scanned using the FH-3 Strip Film Holder, emulsion side down, no USM, auto-exposure and auto-focus.Īs you can see, the images are comparable.

This afternoon (actually, just a few minutes ago) I hunted up some TMax 100 negatives that I had in the archives.
