I'm finishing up a copy-stand-style scanner for 8x10, the Manuscan 810. It use 3 frames to cover the 8x10 negative, and it's a manual slide system. I still have some optimizing to do, but here's the first scan:
I'm using my D600 with a Schneider 50mm Componon-S. At 300 dpi, it'll give me a 19x23" print, which is plenty for me. Obviously, a higher MP camera will give more, or one can always take more photos, but this is very fast to use. Adobe Lightroom uses a perspective stitch, and it outputs a raw file, which is great. Photo taken a long time ago with a Wisner 8x10 TF camera and a Nikon 450m.
