The one thing from a drum scanner that I think you will get is a slightly
better edge to edge sharpness. I would be interested to see the differnce
that you could achieve from a drum scan thou!
Speeking of that!... Has anyone got an image to show the differnce from a
drum scan and dedicted film scanner that they may have!... I saw the link
that (I think) Moose posted with the differnce from a flat bed image from a
print tothat of a dedicated film scanner! There was a big differnce there,
so just curious on this one!
Cheers Adam
