Has anyone got any tips for a scanner which will do reasonable scans for 5x4?

I've been looking online at an Epson V700 which looks as though it ought to do the job, but I'm a little unsure. It's been a while since I used 5x4, or scanned negs of this size, and I always assumed that you had to use a drum scanner for this kind of thing, rather than a flatbed (which is what this Epson one is).

At this point I just want something that will do an OK job, from which I can make a selection of which negs to scan at a high quality, probably at my local lab.

Also, if anyone has any tips or pitfalls about this kind of thing...things to be wary of, please let me know.

Thanks,
Jonathan

Hi,

I would stay away from HP.  I have an HP scanner, the G4050.  I bought it, trusted HP, and didn't use it for many months.  When I started using it with Windows 7, the software would not work with Windows 7.  I had trouble until I finally got an HP technician that knew how to install new software that worked with Windows 7.

Wish I had returned the scanner when I had the chance.
