<p>The reason Kodak used Remjet, is to minimize photon scatter in initial exposure, improving the resolution of the image. Regarding the re-exposure for image reversal, I don't think it matters. After soaking in photoflo solution, the remjet will come off, but you don't want it (colloidal carbon) to migrate to the image side, so be careful.</p>

<p>This is an interesting discussion for me, as I am in the market for a quality scanner. I would prefer multi-format, as I have 35mm and 6x7cm frames to scan, but I am looking for some wisdom and experience before I take the plunge. The Nikon 9000 looks good to me; any relevant advice would be appreciated.</p>

<p>Thank you, Mark. You can see why I took pains to get the scans right. Those were done on a Howtek, under liquid. I didn't own the machine, nor do I want to buy one now.. but I'm in the market for a scanner, as I have thousands more frames to digitize, 35mm and 6x7cm.</p>

<p>I can't see where "too much" resolution is a problem. It would only more sharply define the existing film grain structure (and Kodachrome doesn't have much)<br> I scanned some B&W 35mm at 4000 lines, here's the result.. http://goo.gl/1oyWrL</p>
