Most use high optical resolution flatbed scanners with some form of transparency adapter to scan film formats 5x7 or larger since one often does not really need resolutions greater than 1200 - 2400 ppi which many current flatbed scanners can handle easily. Film scanners that can handle this size format are either drum scanners or one of the models of Imacon (sp) whose pricing is typically prohibitive for most non-commercial users and even for some commercial users given the declining amount of 5x7 and larger film format films being shot these days.
Thus, in my opinion, in the past there were mailing lists and still may be mailing lists for the drum scanners and the Imacons as well as for many of the flatbed scanners that could be used. But as for an itemized list of all the various scanners that can do a good job of scanning 5x7 and larger films, I know of none. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bert Quijalvo Sent: Tuesday, May 31, 2005 10:21 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [filmscanners] I know this has topic been covered recently, and I apologize for the revisit. Was there a list (as a result of the discussion) of recommended scanners for 5x7 transparency scanning? Or is there nothing that does a good enough job to create such a list?
