Greetings for all the film lovers out there,
I'm trying to get back to amateur photography after a couple years break. I've never really liked digital, but as I grow older I find less and less time to play around in the darkroom (not to mention, the city I live in now has almost none available). So I was reading up on the scanning option.
I don't shoot that much (almost entirely in B&W) so I find spending $300 on a scanner for this sole purpose a little too much. I managed to find one for my needs/budget - Canon Canoscan LiDE 210 (4800dpi)
Wanted to ask if anyone has any experience with it and how well does the scanner work with 35mm B&W films. There is also a better model LiDE 700f (9600dpi), however, I'm not sure if I need higher resolution? I mostly print on an A4 size paper and occasionally go A3.
Would appreciate if anyone who used Canoscan LiDE for B&W could give me some feedback.
Cheers
