I read that the Nikon LS4000 has enough resolution to scan both the grain and the area between the grain (as opposed to "clumping grain" problems with the LS2000 which I experienced to a disturbing degree). This is not enough reason alone to buy the scanner, however. What makes the most sense to me is to make a very sharp darkroom print with a wide tonal range and scan it on a hi-res flatbed like the Epson 3200. Result: huge file size (if you need it), minimal grain. Do what you want in Photoshop. > > Minolta Dimage Scan > Elite 5400 might work well?
It has some diffusion gate that is supposed to address the problem, but how well, with a grainy film like 3200 is questionable.
