What is the best dpi for scanning negatives?

Digital scans of large negatives and transparencies at 600 DPI for standard quality and 1200 DPI for high-quality will get the job done. When deciding on the best resolution for scanning photos, remember that a high DPI only really matters when projects require extreme detail, such as with archival projects.

How do I choose a film scanner?

Start by looking at scanners with a higher resolution of 3,000 dpi. Dmax scanners will give you the best quality scale, but the higher the number, the more expensive they are. A dedicated film scanner will do the work for you, better than the flatbed in some ways. They are a little more expensive.

What is the resolution of the Plustek 135?

I was aware that Plustek had introduced a new ‘135’ film scanner, with motorized film advance. ScanDig even had a review of it, where it seemed to do very well on getting close to its quoted resolution (a problem with many scanners). Their measurement showed resolution of 3280dpi against Plustek’s claimed 3600dpi.
