Originally posted by Venturi ...since I was already budgeting for a scanner to handle MF now I can easiliy rationalize going for the V700 which will let me do a full roll of 24exp 135 in one shot - or 6 MF negs at a time.
Your milage may vary but when I shoot a roll on my 67, I view the negatives on a light table. Out of 10 shots, usually two or three are keepers; that is, ones that I would consider posting on my photostream and sometimes none at all.
Since I scan at 4000dpi and produce a TIFF file, my file sizes are 100MB+ each. So I've learned to read my negatives on the light table and only scan those that are worthy. The 645 is a small MF negative and you don't really don't need to scan as high as I do because your scanner may just be interpolating so that may be more practical for you. But the point I trying to make is don't put too much stock in the ability to scan multiple MF negatives at once because over time I bet you end up only scanning the "keepers".
