Hmm, does seem pretty expensive but sounds interesting. I've got an old Canon FS4000 for 35mm, which works ok for me. I'm curious what people recommend for 4x5 film.
Is there such a thing as a cheap drum scanner.
- zippergz 11mo agoI haven't done 4x5 in a while, but I have an HP flatbed with a 4x5 adapter (purchased used on ebay) which does an OK job for the price.
- sbszllr 11mo agoI've been camera scanning 4x5 and I'm happy with the results. Take two offset photos and stitch them in post. Mind you, I scan with pixel shift for higher res.
- MBCook 11mo agoThe Epson scanners are supposed to be nice but they stopped making them and they’ve shot way up in price second hand.
- anfractuosity 11mo agoYeah I do remember hearing good things about the Epson scanners, will have another look, thanks.
- MBCook 11mo agoI’m not sure if they can do 4 x 5. I know they can do 120.
- stephen_g 11mo agoI don't think you want a drum scanner, look up a video of the process for wet mounting negatives... It's super time consuming, cumbersome and messy. Something like an Imacon looks like the best middle-ground, shame they don't make them anymore...
