Re: [Digital BW] Digest Number 479

2002-02-14 by Neil Cotty

Hi everyone,

Long time lurker, first time poster. <G> Sorry, this isn't totally on-topic 
but I hope someone can give me some good advice. I've recently moved 
countries, and I had to leave my darkroom behind. Instead I've set up a 
digital equivalent. LS4000/Epson 1290/Quads etc. I've been shooting 35mm as 
thats all I could really bring with me, but now I want to get back into 4x5. 
So to cut a long story short and now I've sourced a JOBO, I'm wondering 
whether or not I should just get an enlarger, or a flatbed scanner for the 
4x5 stuff. Having never scanned 4x5 I don't know how it will work out on a 
flatbed or if it will really suffer using a flatbed - ? I can spend a pretty 
good whack on decent product, just nowhere in the range of a 4x5 
slidescanner unfortunately. Any suggestions? Should I not consider scanning 
at all if I have to go to a flatbed?

Cheers,
Neil
