That can certainly work for older film, especially, I suppose, if the lens was
less than stellar.
I've posted before about comparing a 4000 DPI scan of early '40s Kodachrome
slides to shooting them using the Auto
Bellows with 80/4 Auto and slide duplicator on my 5D. The results were slightly
different form each other, and I was
hard pressed to say which was better. But I think with good lens and technique
with modern films that the scanner would
give noticeably better results.
For smaller prints or web size images, the copier route would be fine. It is,
however tedious compared to scanning, in
my limited experience.
