No Imacon will scan larger than 5x7 in transparency mode. No Epson  
flatbed (and I have one) can match the dmax of the Imacon, and that's  
what scanning chromes is all about. Brian's best bet is still  
probably to send them to West Coast Imaging for Tango drum scans  
(ouch, it hurts to recommend my competition, but that's the kind of  
guy I am).
