I'm relatively new to large format, having recently begun using a Chamonix 45n-1. Took it and lots of film on a recent trip to Morocco and Scotland, and now have a significant amount of film to scan.
I've searched and searched, but can't find a thread where people document how they scan their large format negs/transparencies. I have an Epson V750, which I plan to use with Vuescan. I could also use also use Silverlight Ai, but I've been using VueScan with my Nikon 5000 for a while. The problem is there are so many variables in scanning.
So, my question: How do you scan? What software do you use? What resolution do you scan 4x5 at (assuming file storage is not a consideration)? What is your scanning process? Any specific settings you've found that lead to better results? And, most importantly, why have you made the decisions you've made with respect to your scanning process?
Know this could be too in-depth of a question, but thought I'd throw it out there...to help me and others that follow.
Cheers, and happy shooting!
Jeff
