If she's already got contact sheets, flat bed scans should be good
enough to allow her to choose which negatives she wants to pay to have
the high resolution scans made from, shouldn't it?
Good enough to carry her through until she has time to find a darkroom
or buy a dedicated medium format film scanner.

If you really want a 6x7, you can be sure that Bill's camera is in
excellent condition and fairly priced.
Remember though, that to take advantage of those big negs, you will
need either a darkroom or a relatively high end scanner, like the
Nikon medium format film scanner. You can get decent scans on a good
flatbed, but your results will be about as good as what you'd get
from an *istD or other relatively low resolution digital camera. Been
there, done that. Fun, but not very productive. Paul

on hold at a neighborhood camera store here in Chi Town, and
I'm thinking about it. For $549.00 I get the camera & a 90mm
lens. I have read about the camera & know about the Mirror
Lock Up issue. I have found and downloaded 6 x 7 user manual
I found on the net. I've read about the camera via Wikipedia.
I've opened the back, looked at the insides, depressed the
shutter using the "special trick" when no film is loaded. I
found a photo lab very near my house, which will process 120
& 220 film, create contact sheets, and create scans (120/220
negative at 18mb $1.00/per neg & 120/220 negative at 19-128MB
$3.00/per neg).
I've mention many times that I'd love to do/learn medium
format work. Film is really my only way in to this kind of
photography because of its affordability.
So what do you guys think? Should I do it?
