I print film & digital, put them on the wall and rotate them into storage. I also produce 12”x12” albums. I expect all of my negatives to be trashed and digital files abandoned after I pass. Other than myself, nobody has any interest in these. Regarding scanning all at maximum resolution, I think that you mistake exploring this option with intending to use it frequently. I do care about the ability to produce high resolution images when the need arises and I’ve been exploring a workflow to accomplish this. I have a heavy duty copy stand and medium format camera for 645 and 6x7 and a smaller setup for 35mm. Unfortunately, finding a Hasselblad 1:1 macro isn’t that easy, so I haven’t ventured beyond making contax sheet copies with medium format. It turns out that the 90V has a sufficiently flat field of view to copy a page of negatives/slides in plastic three hole binder pages.
