Epson v300 still good for 35mm negatives?

[Iodosan]

Goodmorning everyone. Since the labs scan me at 2400 dpi and give me the jpeg file and not the tiff file, I wanted to know if the v300 is still capable of giving good results at 2400 dpi. Thank you

The V300 is no longer manufactured by Epson. Here's their web page for current models for scanning film.

The 2400 DPI from Epson V300 will probably never be as good as the scan from the lab of the same DPI, resolution wise. V300 scans will be good in 1200 DPI; 2400 ads no recognisable improvement. Saying this, I scan in 2400 DPI nevertheless, knowing this limitation, because V300 allows me set individual setting, for example no sharpening, adjusting the levels etc. I found it better for post editing.

I use an Epson 3200 Perfection scanner which supposedly scans to, yep, 3200 DPI. I see no difference between 1600 and 3200 so I'll usually scan at 1600. I use Vuescan for control of all the scanning parameters and am happy with the output.

If I come across an image that I really want to do something with, like print large for example, then I'll just have a lab scan it on one of their high end machines. That didn't happen in 2020 but there's hope for 2021

Take a look here for information on tested scanners.

This is exactly what I wanna do. Develop the roll and scan with v300 for sharing/archive. If I will find a great great quality shot I will go to the lab for scan or Print the photo from the negative. Thanks all for the replies
