Allyen,

Or buy your own used drum scanner!<G> I tried scanning 4x5 on a Linoscan
1400 flatbed and wound up with a used Howtek D4000. Not a path for the faint
of heart and it cost me ~$5,000. Prices may be even lower at the moment and
it can pay for itself rather quickly if you are having scans done by someone
else. You may even get better results doing your own scans.

If you go the flatbed route give the 3200 a try. It is very reasonable.
