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,

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.
