I no longer have a darkroom, just about out of Polaroid materials, and will soon need to start making digital prints from my LF negatives.
What moderately priced flatbed scanner do you recommend?
Thanks

v700
scanners
Epson v-750 or v700.
If you can find a good 4990, that will do fine as well.
I forgot to mention that I only need to scan B&W negatives.
The 700 or 750 scanners are good. I currently use a 750 with the wet scanning glass for 4x5. Works great when you sandwich the neg between a ANR glass of sorts. If you want you could grab the updated 800/850. I'd rather the 700/750 due to cheaper price though.
You should be seeing a number of used Epson v700/750 being offered for sale, now that the 800/850 is out. They work perfectly well for 4x5 and 5x7 - although since no film holder is provided for 5x7, you can either make one yourself, or use a ANR glass holder.
Are either the Epson v700 or v750 supported under Win 8?
What's an ANR glass holder? Does it use water as medium?
Yes, both.Quote:
