A quick background: I am returning to serious hobby/ amateur photography after about 10 years off. After my son was born, I had a hard time finding the time (and the extra cash) to get out and do the type of landscape photography I like to do. Anyway, things have eased up somewhat and I am trying to get back into the swing of things, so to speak. My intent is to get into and explore LF using a speed graphic. However, even before I get to that point, I am looking to set up a digital darkroom system. I have a large number of MF negatives, 6x4.5 and 6x7 that I’d like to scan in and play with. At this point I have to replace my computer system, printer and scanner (they are all old and need to be upgraded anyway.)
So, here’s my issue, I’ve settled on the Epsom v750 flatbed as the scanner that I intend to purchase. To start with, I’ll do some dry scans to get the feel for the system, but I am curious about wet scanning.
It appears that the Epsom comes with a wet scanning adapter/ tray, but I could not find any instruction on the use of it on their web site. There are also a couple of different companies out there that sell aftermarket scanning kits of various configurations.
Can I get some feedback on these different systems? What are the advantages or drawbacks to them?
