4x5 scanner?
I am looking for some suggestions for a desktop scanner that can handle 4x5 transparencies....
I had been advised the Canoscan 9950f was a good model at an affordable price, but I see Canon has wisely discontinued it and replaced it with a model that can only scan Medium format.... What are my best current options....without spending a ton of cash? __________________

Re: 4x5 scanner?
I'm looking for a 4X5 scanner too (6x12cm to be precise) but I don't have the kind of expendable cash to buy a "real film scanner". With this personal limitation in mind I'm thinking of getting an Epson V700 and replace the glass with a sheet of aluminum painted flat black. Apertures through which the film can be seen by the sensor would be cut. This removes the glass from the image path thereby improving scan quality and greatly reducing dust problems.
Epson V700 - Custom Film Holder For Large Film Any thoughts? __________________
