Hello all.. New Boy here.. first post so no shouting at me and no de bagging.

Heres my Q.. I shoot 4x5 film.. only 4x5 nothing smaller ever..

How much resolution do i really need in a scanner. My work is usually printed actual size. ie I would in the past do 4x5 contact prints and display them in larger frames with a ton o white around them. Or put them in "artist" books.

OK so do I need a really fine scanner a la v700.. I can't find a discussion about the need for DPI..

If there is one please link me or give me a thread name..

Thank you all. BTW I love this forum.
