I drum scan with an HR8000, have a Scitex Flatbed, epson V800, a couple of Minolta Multi pros, and did a bunch of wet mount scans with leaf scan 45’s on Sapphire glass. Don’t fell wet mountings much more of a setup chore than taping negatives to a mask, but I digress.
One thing that I never see mentioned regarding DSLR scanning is the work involved with dust spotting. When I wet mount my drum scans, the oil does a great job of cleaning the negatives of dust and filling in imperfections. I would have to think that DSLR scanning would have issues with this? Don’t know don’t scan that way, but one reason I only preview 4x5’s with my Scitex is due to dust spotting.
