Hi, I am wondering if some you guys might be able to help me find affordable places to get some 4x5's scanned. I just recently got started in large format photography and would like to enjoy my shots somewhere other than the light table. I understand that Reed Photo offers an economy scan for a reasonable price but I would like to know if there is any other places around the Denver area that would do this. Also there are a few shots that I would like to get drum scanned, it seems that this sort of endeavor can get expensive.

Thanks in advance

I drum scan with Howtek D4000's.

Prices:
up to 150MB = $35
up to 350MB = $45
up to 550MB = $55

Buy 7 scans get the 8th free. Shoot me an email if you like. I am in Aurora if you want to stop by for the nickel tour.

I have done scans for several people on the forum. My goal is to provide a good product at a fair price.

Rick Dunn --> Hope you dont mind me placing this here.

Randy, it appears by your post that mostly you are just looking for some small scans to play around with in PS? Why dont you just buy a cheap espon 2450 or 3200 off ebay and scan away. Thats what i do for preliminary editing and web posting. If i want to get anything printed, then a drum scan is the way to go. See above post...
