Digital BW, The Print

Couch, what couch? That's right, I sold that for film as well :)

I thank you for the suggestion, it's definitely more my price range. Has
anybody actually used a Visioneer 8820 - they are cheap and supposedly go to
5 x 7?

  It's nice to know I'm not the only one around
  here using a 5x7, the neglected step-child of
  large format.
  Herb, if you're looking for a scanner for 5x7 and
  have an extra $18,000 between the cushions of
  your couch, an Imacon should work just fine. But
  if you're like me and refuse to spend that much
  on a car(the Imacon doesn't get very good
  mileage, I'm told), and have more time than
  money, here's my $400 workaround. I recently got
  an Epson 2450 which will scan 4x5. The light
  source is actually 4x9. I made a 5x7 neg carrier
  using the 4x5 as a template. I then scan my 5x7s
  in two pieces and stitch them together in
  Photoshop. It takes a few minutes longer but I'm
  making beautiful prints and still have money left
  for film.
