I just learned the local pro lab does not do traditional color printing anymore. Should I pay them $30 to scan my 4x5 slides using a flatbed Fuji FineScan 5000 or buy an Epson 4990 and do the scans myself? What resolution should I have them scan at for Provia film?
I have scanned my 35mm slides using a Nikon CoolScan V and been printing them and my 6mp digital at 11x14 or 12x18 at Costco for $3. My laptop is color calibrated and I use Photoshop CS2 so I am comfortable doing my own scans.
The only other alternative would be to shoot B&W. Which I have no experience at. They still do traditional B&W printing and a 16x20 B&W Enlarged Contact sheet is only $14. Custom B&W printing is more expensive and the lab charges $30 for a 12x18 color print.
