    I have a 4990, somewhat similar to the v series.... I only use it for 4x5" scans. though I've seen people get decent scans with 35 and especially MF you're looking at quite a lot of photoshop work, and more importantly practice (getting colours right can be a real bitch), if you want a half decent results. I've heard good things about custom holders for the epson, google for 'em if you decide to buy one.

    scanned this with the epson (4x5):

    for large prints I fear you will have to look at rather expensive scanners like the higher end nikon V* ED series. The flatbeds are perfect for 2400 dpi texture scans though....

    My advice, get an epson v700/v750 for the flatbed stuff and webscans of your negs and save some money to have some decent high res (drum)scans made every once in a while at a lab....

    • cool. I'll have to check out the custom holders.danthon
