Fair enough. I still tend to believe there is more than 4000 dpi in medium to low speed films. Or at least that there is more than the 4000 dpi captured by prosumer scanners, which might not be a true 4000 dpi. Otherwise we wouldn't need drum scans anymore.
Now, don't get me wrong, I think 4000 dpi scanners are great and have made it possible for professional scanning for the average guy. But I suspect fine grain films can supply more than the 4000 dpi is capturing.
