I just started shooting 4x5 negatives and processing them on an HP printer/scanner.
My approach is rather crude but effective. Basically I lay the negative on the platen, cover it with a glass plate to hold it flat, mask of the remainder of the platen with black cardboard, then leave the top open and use a deck lamp to shine through the negative when I scan. I adjust the density with sheets of white paper between the lamp and the scanner.
I have been reading about the Epson V600 scanner, It says it will copy slides.
So my question is will this or some other inexpensive scanner copy 4x5 negatives?
