Enlarging a 35mm that much will be more test of the film's grain
characteristics than the scanner's abilities. When scanning higher-speed
35mm film (more grain) my experience has been that scanning at a lower rez
and sampling the image up in Photoshop gives a more pleasing result. You get
a softer look to the film grain.
Scanning a nice Fuji Velvia slide is a different story. A drum scanner will
get better detail out of the shadows, if there is detail there, and it will
do it with less noise than an older, pre-active-cooling CCD scanner.
Cheers,
Bert
