There I agree with you, and my statements are made based on what I
see as output from these scanners, which are affordable and the
basis of what I've been doing since the early 1990s.
I can't afford $5K to $20K drum scanners and Imacons, and unless you
can (or can afford $100 per scan charges), then the consideration of
those who use them is not germaine to what we have to work with as
real people with modest resources. I chose to concentrate on the
development of techniques and efforts for realistically priced
equipment.
The Nikons, Minoltas, Epsons, Canons, whatnot are the "approachable
darkroom" of the film->digital world. The high end equipment is
generally impractically expensive for even a lot of professionals.

I am considering a scanner to do my 645 negs and slides. Is there
anything out there that can do a half decent job for less than $500?
I'd be looking for something that would allow me to make a decent
8X10. I've been looking at Epson's 4490 Photo and 4990 Photo...any
thoughts?
