<p>I'm looking for a scanner that can basically duplicate the kind of contact sheet you'd get if you just took four 4x5 negs and proofed them to one 8x10 sheet of paper in the darkroom ...<br> I'm not looking for super high quality, and there's no plan to make reproductions from the scans, etc. -- it's simply for the purpose of cataloguing, and this is the system that the photographer whose work I'm inventorying has used for filing and inventorying everything so far, so I hesitate to reinvent the wheel now ... that being said, I'd also love to not have to dust off the old enlarger and re-hook up the water to the darkroom, etc ...<br> The Epson 850 and similar scanners only seem to be able to put 2 4x5s on an 8x10 page because of the format of the handler, I guess.<br> Any thoughts would be most appreciated (maybe just taping the negs to the window and taking a snap against a clear sky?? :)<br> Many thanks!<br> NSJ</p>
