That will depend on the film of course, but with TRI-X or TMY I don't believe you will see any grain until you get to 2540 dpi or more.

The Eversmart scanners are really good flatbed scanners. The method of scanning used is like mowing grass and then stitching the files together, all done in the driver software. This means that at any given time the lens, which is a very high quality Rodenstock one, is always scanning at or near the optimum coverage. The result is sharpness that closely rivals drum scanners, at the same scanning dpi, and assuming no interpolation of course. Dynamic range is not quite as great as with drum scanners, but still very good.
