I have an IQ3 and though it's been a little while since I scanned 4x5, I think it's much faster than that - I'm thinking 10 minutes at 4000 dpi is probably about right. You can cut your own templates and put in a number of 4x5 negatives and let it work on them.
iQSmart3 takes 50+mins on scanning a 4x5 at 3200 dpi
Eversmart Pro II took ~25 mins for the same
The resulting files are top notch from both
Any idea how long the IQSmart 3 takes to scan a 4x5 at 2000ppi?Originally Posted by SergeyT
As an update to this, I am ordering an Eversmart Supreme II from Scan Solutions Online. It pushed the budget a bit but I'm thinking it's the right move for my little lab. From what I've read it's pretty much the finest CCD scanner ever made.
Now to find a Durst Sigma Plus...
My IQS3 is significantly faster on 4x5 at even 4000 dpi than yours. I wonder why?
Scanner delivers Dec 17 or 18th. I added the wet mount kit with it. Getting excited!
It could be because of the Mac that I use to drive it. I noticed it sits at the end and stitches for a long time.
It's here, it's huge, and it's beautiful.
Ok so I made a scan of an 8x10 sheet at 1500ppi...clocked at about 18 minutes.
Less than 5 minutes on 1000ppi. So much faster than I expected. The quality is blowing away my camera scans.
