  1. Thank you, Ed, for your insightful response. Yes, I will continue to use my friend's drum scanner, as it seems no consumer scanner is close to a drum scan yet.
  2. * I should say, newer "lower priced" scanners.
  3. Agreed Silent Street, I've been drum scanning my 4x5's for 15 years because the quality doesn't compare to lower-end models. Was just wondering if these newer scanners were beginning to catch up? Thanks for your input!
  4. Thanks so much, Tim, I will check it out. And yeah, the Tango is up there... hopefully one day high-end scanners will come down in price.
  5. Hi there, I've been scanning my 4x5 negatives on a friend's Heidelberg Tango drum scanner for 10 years. I wanted to maybe get something comparable to that for my own studio? (at a more affordable price)... and was wondering if the Epson V850 comes close? Does anyone have experience with both of these scanners to compare? I do have an Epson 4990 that I use to view my negs before the final scans on the Tango. However, the detail of the 4990 does not compare to the Tango, but I don't know if the newer models have improved? Also, I scan my 4x5 negs "full" with the black border, but can't find if these newer Epson models allow you to scan without the negative holder? (The negative holder on my 4990 crops the negs). Finally, my output prints are between 30x40 in to 50x60 in in size. Not sure if the Epson V850 scanner resolution scans that high? I also looked at the Epson V800 model, but it seems the V850 has newer features. I appreciate any input, thank you! Maritza
