Hello

I would appreciate if you all could help me select a scanner. I have two choices an Epson 4990 (used) and an HP ScanJet G4050 (almost new), both for the same price. I am shooting 4x5 and would like to invest in a good scanner (as there are no professional scanning facilities in my country) that can truly bring out the quality from a 4x5 negative. Having said that, I can only invest in a consumer level machine and not a professional one like Imacon etc. I wanted to go for the Epson V700, as it seems to be the best in consumer grade, but it is not available in my country. I want to know which one is better and why? or if they will produce the same results.

Cheers
Raffay
