I've read most of the previous posts about scanning 8x10 and the issues with newton rings. Thanks for all of the knowledge offered by experienced scanners.
I have been shooting 8x10 color negative film and will be scanning to produce enlargements up to 40x50". I had hoped to spend about $500 on a scanner, but I could probably go up to about $800. I'm looking for the MOST SIMPLE method to produce sharp hi-res scans with no newton ring issues.
Should I:
1 - get the V700 and a piece of ANR glass and try my luck?
2 - get the v750 and plan to wet mount?
3 - look for a drum scanner on ebay or another prosumer scanner option?
One more question - after wet mounting, do you just hang you film to dry again? Is the wet mount on the emulsion or film side?
Thanks, Craig
