This could be the start of something old- like the old pixels vs DPI controversy.

I don't know if the Epson V750 scanner is any good, but on this page are its resolution specs: https://epson.com/Clearance-Center/Scanners/Epson-Perfection-V750-Pro/p/B11B178061

It does attempt to marry up pixels with DPI somewhere there.

The shots look "good enough to me", though I couldn't say how they compare with MF film detail. - It doesn't matter much as long as you can see the detail you want.

Quick quote:

The Epson Perfection V800 Photo yields an effective resolution of 2300 ppi if the template is scanned with 4800 ppi. Using the professional scanning software SilverFast Ai Studio, this value is increased to an effective 2600 ppi.
