I've heard a lot about the older Imacons (flextights) but not much about the Eversmart Pro. Has anybody used this scanner and could provide their thoughts on it when scanning colour & b&w negatives? I'm looking for something for both 6x7s and 4x5s. 4x5s at about 20x24 and 30x24 and 6x7s up to 16x20. The Eversmart Pro and the older Flextights seem like good choices for the $2500 range.
I'm pretty sure it's worlds above a V700 in resolution but I'm curious if it has the bit-depth to do a good job of removing the orange mask and I'm also curious how it performs compared to an Imacon. Also I noticed it has a Rodenstock lens inside. How does this work? Is it basically a dedicated film scanner with a moveable lens instead of a lens array like a regular flat bed? Does it have focusing capabilities and will it perform OK if I put ANR glass on top of the transparency to maintain flatness?
Anybody have any opinions and information they can throw in?
update: it appears from this old thread that an imacon may be easier to get up & running and one person is inferring that the imacon's scan results should be similar.
