The V700 will do an excellent job, but scan the negatives, not the
prints. I've gotten some excellent scans of 4x5 transparencies and
negatives with the Epson 3200 flatbed scanner. 4x5 film is thick
enough to lie flat in the holder. It works great. I've made some
excellent 12 x 18 prints from the scans.

I'll be sleeping on the porch when this is all done, but I'm shopping
for a LF camera again. 4x5, monorail camera, probably a 270 or 300mm
lens for portraits. Nothing fancy. What is serving as a darkroom
consists of a small enlarger, a tiny sink and almost enough room to
turn around. Given that, I can make contact prints from 4x5
negatives.
The dilemma:
I have neither the space nor money for a large format enlarger. Which
means I'll have to scan it. What do you guys think about scanning
contact prints for web presentation and ink jet printing up to 8x10?
The budget is limited, so if I'm going to buy a scanner, probably a
V700, I'll need to lower the budget for the camera and lens.
Thanks!
I'll be right there with the live chicken and peach preserves.
