How big of a print can be made from a good scan of a given 35mm, 120, and 4x5 neg. with this?

 

[mccolalx]

Someone else may be able to answer this. I never printed from scans...I just used files. I do know that it is capable of 6400dpi scans.
Also, it doesn't do 4x5...it has carriers for medium format, 35mm film, and 35mm slides

Also, if anyone is interested, I'll throw in one Betterscanning 35mm strip of ANR glass that will drop into the 35mm holder

I have this scanner.

From 35mm, I can easily make a good 8x10 and ok 11x14. I've done up to 12x18 but it was only passable. With 120, I've done excellent 11x14 but have not done anything larger.

It cannot scan 4x5. The light on hood isn't large enough to fully illuminate 4x5 and there is no holder for it for that size.

By the way.... there is no increase in image quality after 3200dpi. Going double that will give you larger size but that's about it.

It's an excellent tool to experiment with images before heading into the darkroom. I often do that to explore possibilities. See? Scanner can be a darkroom tool...

Thanks tkamiya. I would basically use it in a similar way.

Check out this German website: www.filmscanner.info
They have tested V600 which should be in the same class.
