Hi Ivor,
My feelings would be slightly different in that an A3 scan at 300ppi, for a large format tran or neg, would be quite small in terms of realising its full potential. However, for a 35 mm neg or tran, this would really be pushing the limits of resolution for the material. I would therefore suggest that the scan dimensions change for each format, for example, 10X8 for 35mm, 16X16 for 120 and 20X24 for 10X8. Obviously, in doing this, you end up with different file sizes but ultimately this reflects the size of the original.

Subject: Archival digitisation standards
Dear all. I have been asked to review our standards for archival digitisation of analogue material. That is to say prints, 35mm trannies and some larger format ektas. Do any other institutions have maximum and minimum specifications to share. At the moment we are aiming for an A3 print at 300 dpi for all formats.
Many thanks in advance.
