RE: [Digital BW] Any New Film Scanners Coming?

Hi Martin,

Perhaps you might want to check here:

in general, I'd say that isn't really true.  Tri-X is listed at 100lp/mm,
and Fuji Superia 400 is listed at 100 as well...  Plus-X is listed at 125,
and a comparable Fuji Superia 100 is listed at 125 as well...so they seem to
be about the same. Of course, there are going to be exceptions, but I
believe in general, you can't make that generalization...yes, I see you said
"theoretically" ;-)

Hum.  As I'm sure you well know, not as far as density goes.  Perhaps for
resolution...

Austin
