RE: [Digital BW] All you scanning pros: Great scanner for 4x5 negs? -THANKS!!!

2007-07-10 by Eric Neilsen Photo

It is not a radical bend, but I'd have my doubts about putting some older
"crisp" negative material through one. At least the one that I worked with
which was an Imacon Precision II. They may have improved the through put
since. One thing that I really didn't like about the holder was the over lap
on the edges of the film. I am sure that it was to ensure a good hold on the
film, but for some work, it would get in the way of getting the whole image
area on the film.

Eric, I thought it was a very slight and gentle curve, no?
