Even if you can get a 617 roll back for a 4x5 you will need a 5x7 enlarger to print the negatives. If you choose to scan I don't know of any film scanner that will do 6x17 except drums.

You can get a scanner that will do 6x12 and to print 6x12 a 4x5 enlarger will work.

There are heaps of scanners that do 6x17. Epsom, Canon, Imacon/Hasselblad and Microtek all make them. Surprising that you didn't know this.

I was referring dedicated FILM scanners, not flatbeds. Hasselbald is a drum scanned which I said could do 6x17.

They are dedicated film scanners. Who wrote the rule that a film scanner cannot be a flat bed? What a ridiculous notion.
