Dear Mr. J. Jeffrey Bragg,

There were quite a number of people who tried to provide a professional answer to the OPs original question. Perhaps some of use were just idiots and when he said that he wanted to make high quality prints from 4X5 negatives we just did not understand what he meant.

Frankly, I suspect there is a very large market for a scanner that can serve all formats, with *real* resolution of 6000 spi or more, and Dmax of 4.7 or more. A price around $500 or so new would also be very nice. Good luck in your search.
