Joe,
The scan I mentioned with the 5x7 was made on an Imacon for me by a
friend. The Imacon is a pricey piece of equipment that is supposed to
give results close to that of a drum scanner.
However, I own an Epson 2450, which is a flatbed, and have made some
4X5 scans from it that look really good. I have read some conflicting
reports about how the point of focus of this scanner is set and
really need some more experience with the machine to know what it is
capable of. You can see the information about point of focus at
