Hmmm, I wouldn't recommend a flatbed for film. For one thing, the ICE,
or equivalent, must work more effectively in a film scanner. But I
have heard that the Nikons are very good.

I believe that. I tend to scan grain as well as picture at 5400, but I
save my files, re-sampled, at around 60Mb. I reduce the longest
dimension from around 7500 pixels. I keep vacillating about whether or
not to scan at 4000 and give up the work in-between ... ;-)
