Last I checked, that was a USD 3,000 camera. Prices
may have gone
down, however. Note that there's no way anything less than the $10K
Hasselblad backs that magazines use for studio work can equal a 600dpi
scan.
Which 35mm film are you using? There are some really
nifty Kodak
technical films -- Tekpan something or other (4-digit number?) is an
ASA 25 black & white film, although you'd need a few hundred dollars
of lighting equipment to use it for this application. OTOH, T-Max 125
probably delivers more than enough quality for the job. ^_^
Hey, you can save a ton of work scanning and get far better resolution than
the average scanner by taking the pictures on 35mm film with a good closeup
lense and having Kodak process it on to a photocd. Most graphics packages
(ie photodeluxe) can read photocds directly.
