I've been impressed by the 4990 and 4x5. Here's the whole frame: http://www.mattclara.com/misc/4990_01.html And here's a crop, actual size (2 MB): http://www.mattclara.com/misc/4990_02.html -- Regards, Matt Clara www.mattclara.com > I've been impressed by the 4990 and 4x5. > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > And here's a crop, actual size (2 MB): > http://www.mattclara.com/misc/4990_02.html Nice Matt. Can even see the dust.

Yes. I've used a Microtek (Artixscan) 2500 and presently an Epson 4990. The Microtek was sharper, but had other issues and I no longer own it. The Epson, as far as I can tell, delivers an "honest" 2000 dpi or so. I scan my 4x5 stuff at 2400 spi on the Epson. That gives me 110 million pixels, and from that I can make 24x30" prints that are tack-sharp, corner-to-corner. "Respectable" is in the eye of the beholder. rafe b www.terrapinphoto.com |
