Firstly, I want to say that I primarily shoot 6x7 120, but this seems to be the only forum with decent discussion on high-end scanners. Secondly, I'm considering these two scanners to use with my Mamiya 7ii. I have an offer for a Supreme for $6k, it's this one. There's also a Cezanne FT-5000 on eBay for $3500 here. Obviously, the Cezanne is significantly cheaper. I'm mostly looking to do 30x24 prints with some rare 40x32 and a rarer 50x40 thrown in if possible. It seems like either scanner is capable of doing that all the way up to 300dpi, but I'm wondering if there's even 5600dpi worth of information in a 6x7 frame, of course assuming tripod, perfect focusing, sharp lenses, 25-50 speed film, etc. I also don't know how harder it would be to use the Cezanne with its 5300dpi being limited to a portion of the scanner. I mean, how much real world difference is there between the Supreme's 5600dpi and the FT-5000's 5300dpi?
