My scanner is the cheap epson 120 bucks scanner which I got.
what is the diff when I scan at 600DPI vs taking the photo with 24mega pixels mid range DSLR?
Which one is better for archival?
Agree with what Catchlight said, need a decent micro lens. I've tried before, Epson V300 vs my Nikon D3 and Sigma 150 vs Drum Scanner. Epson is soft, and drum scanner is sharpest with the DSLR method being the best compromise. But ultimately it's up to you
This is my setup, using my V300 to hold the film for the scanning process, used lego for the rig from my childhood

Can this be used for medium format film?
Awesome! Thanks for the idea, I've got lots of old slides to convert but haven't thought of how to do it, and now it's time to raid my kids' lego box!

Sharing a link on scanning with scanner and getting more sharpness using superresolution
I've tried, it requires some rearrangement since this is made for 35mm, but it can be converted to be used for medium format. I've scanned it before with my E-M1, mainly because my D700 is 35mm equivalent and 645 is 4:3 aspect ratio, the same as my E-M1. I'm shooting a medium format film now, 4 frames to go, will post when I develop and scan my MF film.
No problems, I got the idea from watching people use lego do automated rigs but I lack such engineering skills, so I do it the "analog" way hahaha! I pity your kids, dad's gonna steal their legos hahaha
