I sent some of my negatives to get drum scanned. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I guess I expected these to be quite noticeably better. Maybe I am just seeings things wrong. Mine are scanned on an Epson 4990 with low sharpening set on the scanner. The drum scans are straight as I received them.
First one is 8x10 HP5. So the file sizes are similar.

For 4x5 I lowered the size for the drum scans as they were scanned larger.

The drum scans are darker. Perhaps because I didn't set a black point.
