This simply isnt true. A DSLR with a sharp macro lens is a lot better than a flatbed. A dedicated filmscanner like those made by Nikon and Minolta 15-20 years ago, is very slow, but the quality is even higher
20 years ago so had a 4000 dpi film scanner. It was very slow, noisy, and memory hungry. But it made great scans. I have hundreds of rolls of B&W 35mm and 6x7’s on 120 film that I’d love to rescan. I don’t own a digital camera to take a photo of the film. Does anyone have experience on how to go about this? I’ve searched across HN and didn’t come up with much. Surely there are 35mm shooters today that have some contemporary high quality solution? Perhaps an epson v850? This thread gives me pause that it’d not be as good as using a digital camera rig.
