I've gotten very much into the whole science of scanning, which is far far far more complex than anyone could really imagine. What I'm attempting to do is create archival negatives for post production at a later time. This means the highest scanning resolution contained in a DNG with all film raw data. Storage and horsepower are not an issue.
I'm using VueScan 9 and a Canon CanoScan 9000F. VueScan, although not very intuitive, is so damn powerful and perfect for the workflow I want to create. It's the CanoScan 9000F that I'm not too happy with. Yes, you can scan in at 9600 dpi, but true resolution lies somewhere between 1700 and 2000 dpi. This is not acceptable quality for me. I understand I'm not going to get the best possible quality with a $200 scanner, but I didn't think it would be that bad. I need help.
What scanners would you recommend for medium format? I don't mind if it's dedicated or not. I'm looking for quality and I'm willing to pay for it.
