Hi
So my first outing shooting with 4x5 was reasonably successful. I got a couple of exposures and I have developed them reasonably well (still to improve this step but that will come with practice I am sure)

Now I am wanting to think about getting my B&W + Colour negs scanned.
I know I can go to a lab and get my negatives scanned, but part of the draw of film photography is doing the entire process myself. I will lose interest quick if I have to keep going (and paying) for scanning services at a shop.
I'm not going to be printing myself more than A3 size, if I ever need to go above this, I guess I can get a lap to scan & print.

What options are there for scanning at home? I've read a few online comments that the Canon's Canoscan isnt as good as Epson V700/V800
Is the V800 the only viable solution for under $1000? I dont mind getting used kit if its available.

thanks
