Hi,
I have spent the past week or so searching through the internet for a good drum scanner to scan my good 4x5 b&w negatives. it drove me nuts
- I intended to print not more that 44X55 inches. viewing distance will be about 20 - 40 inches.
- I am concerned if a company is out of business or if a certain software doesn't run on reasonably dated OS.
- I appreciate options that are below USD 10k. if you feel that this is shy from producing good quality then please propose something with higher price.
- I have questions like is 5000 DPI going to be enough for my needs
- flatbed scanners are quite good but I would rather get a drum scanner unless price difference is huge.

could you help me in suggesting brands and models of suitable scanners.
