Re: Epson Perfection 1250 Photo Flatbed Scanner

TBH these dual-use flatbeds are still better for opaque material than
transparency use, especially 35mm.

They all use sensor elements at the moment that have about half the claimed
optical resolution, and use half-steps and image processing to make up the
difference.

So they are still inferior to a true film scanner at the same scan resolution.

Also the transparency illuminator is usually limited to 5x4.
