hey Wayne...I'm in the same boat. I will scan all my LF negs to organize and view on the screen, but print in my darkroom. I have a cheapy ($150 new) epson flatbed that does plenty decent on MF (
http://www.yrrabevets.com/noblex/noblexthumbs.html) but its pretty crappy on the 35mm. click on the photo for larger version - and thats scaled way down for the web - and scanned at low resolution - but plenty big/good for the web IMO. For anything 4x5 and bigger, the cheapest option I could find was either a used Epson 4990 or the new version - the Epson 750. You can find the 750 for around 500 new online. I am curious too if there is a cheaper option.
