I am looking for MF scans to be able to scan all usable images from MF shoots. I needs a standard high quality neutral scan so I can decide whether to drum scan after that.
Mail order servives charge USD 6 per chrome for a wet gate scan, but I have not found anyone using a nikon coolscan 9000 ed or comparable (the epson v750 seems to be in use most of the time).
good thinking on pre-scanning, but you'll want to take this over to HYBRIDPHOTO.COM. we're strictly analog here(in terms on workflow), H/P is Apug's sister site, and is dedicated to the hybrid process of shooting film, and then scanning/printing digitally. many of us here also frequent there as well.
