I thought the resolution of medium speed film was about 100 lines/mm. The
CDW catalog I got today lists the resolution of the Coolscan II as 2700
dpi. Since it takes two dots(one off and one on) to make a line its
resolution would be roughly 50 lines/mm, if I am not mistaken. It might be
close to the resolution of an inexpensive paper print.
