Re: BACK ON TOPIC, I THINK

The 4990 is an excellent piece of equipment which takes 10" X 8" originals of the transparant variety and somewhat larger for reflection.

  DEAR LIST,

              Well, I am (FINALLY) about to order a scanner for my 8X10 and 5X7 negs and the collection of glass plate negs for which I am curator/conservator.

              Does anyone have experience with the Epson 4990 and 4990 "Pro"? Is the "Pro" worth the extra $150? The main difference seems to be the additional software.

              When I have an 8X10 neg scanned in order to have a file large enough to give me a high quality 16X20 digital neg with which to make PT/PD prints it costs me around $50 here in Barbados. At that price, 10 scans will pay for the scanner.

              Any suggestions regarding this would be appreciated.

                                                              CHEERS!

                                                                          BOB
