As I am soon to invest in a film or flatbed scanner of some sort, I'd love to see some samples of scans taken with various scanners to get an idea of the quality they're capable of.
I realise there was a large scanner comparison done on these boards, but I figure a fresh set of examples would still be useful.
Please post your scanned examples here, and be sure to mention the scanner you used.

You will never be able to tell from an image on the internet Bosk where the images are saved and displayed at 72ish dpi which is about the limit of your screen. The cheapest flat bed can scan at a much higher resolution than that.

Go to my gallery and check the folder "Model No Model". Those are all 35mm frames scanned on an Epson V700. SOme slides and some iso400 colour neg (NPH). In the ZISI gallery the newest images e.g. the one with the trabant are medium format images scanned on the same V700.
But as said above, on the Web you can't see muchg difference above a certain level.

I have a crop of a full scan from my Scan Dual III. Click here. I'll try and do another one that even better shows off how it works.

if you go to my gallery shown in my signature, nearly all the images there were scanned with a Nikon Coolscan V.. but again, it's hard to tell from a downsampled image what the scanner is capable of

Overweight and over here
For what its worth...
Main image for reference and a crop at full size.
Unprocessed - straight out as a flat scan using Vuescan - so unsharpened (prefer to do that in CS).

Delta 100, Contax T3, dev in Perceptol 1+1 some time ago.
Good luck with your decision.

I have only just started using my Minolta Multi Scan Pro and am very pleased with the results. Prior to that I used a Canon 9900F Flatbed which wasn't even close quality wise, especially dynamic range.
With the Scan Pro, I scan in 16bit colour positive then invert and desaturate in PS. 2600 dpi for 35mmm and 120mm. Lots of detail and lots of resolution. But is does pick up all the grain. But I expect that - HP5 @ 400 asa.
Certainly my 6 x 4.5 stuff scans better. But the key seems to be with scanning that the better the neg, the better the scan. So take care with exposure and developing.
Dynamic range is excellent if you scan as positive.
