Thanks to all for your input. As far as wet drum scanning is concerned, on a Tango for instance, which would provide the highest quality standard, I am aware that this is the sound way to do it. I have to skip for financial criteria. The digital camera way is cheap because I have it, and I also have a speedlight slide duplicator that only requires a small adaptation to accept the Sony body. I need to purchase a film holder for 6x7 and 6x12, and am considering a Plustek holder for the OpticFilm 120, in case someone knows it and can confirm that it is a good choice (flat surface on the bottom, to rest on the glass?)
For the file size, two shots stitched provide enough pixels for most of what I do (16" @300 dpi on the narrow side). And I can also turn the camera perpendicular and slice more into the film for the ones I intend to enlarge more.
I am not far from being able to carry some tests and comparisons, camera vs Eversmart, which btw is HCT calibrated. But what I still wonder is what gain will I get with the camera from a film source (mostly Velvia), which is not a real life scene. Does film offer a wide gamut intrinsically? Where would a piece of Velvia stand, for instance say between sRGB and ProPhoto RGB? Of course there is more than gamut and the extended D range and bit is also to be considered.
Best regards
