That's some pretty bad see-ing and I would think that wouldn't help.

Here is a link to some tests I posted:

http://tim.povlick.com/Epson%204780%20Tests.htm

The 'bars' are a ronchi screen that I think is around 4oo lines/inch.  
The scanner magnified this more than a microscope I have access to.   
The real picture is a small section of a tech pan 6x7 negative scanned 
at 12800 dpi.  It was 10k X 9k pixels on a side, just way to big to 
handle so I had PhotoShop reduce the image by a factor of about 4.  The 
lens is a  Pentax 165mm, IIRC.  I scanned these quite a while ago and 
just haven't had time to post them.
