It's pretty clear that when set up and running, the quality will surpass our flatbed scanners and quite frankly a bunch of the remaining Frontier. Frankly, I've fiddled quite a bit with my epson v750, adjusting height etc that I decided I'd go the macro lens way + autofocus. It was obvious from the very first tests that the scanner got instantly obsolete.
I haven't tried yet but I recently got a E-M5 mk II and am pretty excited about trying it tethered and at its High Resolution mode. It might be a pretty way to avoid stitching, get decent resolution and get cleaner colors.
Then the funny part starts : dealing with orange masks for colour films (many ways to do so, still unconclusive to me, I was doing B&W) and assuming lightroom isn't botching your camera intended color rendition. You can always use your camera maker software
... But in printing, scanning, etc... I eventually concluded that good enough is the target.
