Subject: 5x4 neg scanning 
 

    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
