Digital BW, The Print

Which "MF" do you plan to get back into? There's a big difference between
645 and 6x7 or 6x9. I scan 6x7 negatives with a Linoscan 1400 flat bed and
I've been pleased with 8x10 prints from those scans.

Subject: [Digital BW] MF Scans


I would like to get back into MF and given the rush into digital,
camera prices appear very reasonable.  What is stopping me is the
price of film scanner that can handle 120 film. (My LS 2000 is in
good shape and I cannot justify buying a new scanner at this point.)

My reading of the discussion of this topic on the list is that
flatbed scanners compromise quality to the point where I might as
well stick with 35mm film.  Now my question: has anyone had any luck
with reasonably priced commercial scans of MF film?  (One lab in
Philly wants around $35 per shot for a 20-40mg scan and I do not
consider that reasonably priced.)   I would want to print 8X10 and I
suspect that a 20mg scan would do that -- although I may be off here.

Thanks,

Steve
