It occurs to me that I may need to get an Epson transparency scanner. Not
quite as sharp as my Nikon 9000ED, but should more than suffice (v. drum
scans at $25-$30 per pop).
Aw, come on! If you are going to the trouble to shoot 4x5, print them
optically! How about this enlarger family-
http://eseco-speedmaster.com/imagingsystems.html ? I have the
Eseco-Speedmaster AF-45, and I think it's a fantastic piece of gear.

I'm sure it is but, there is no way I'm going the enlarger route. It's
bad enough that I'll have to take the film in for dev downtown (where
they conveniently have that drum scanner, damnit).

Is there a tank system to do E-6 at this size?.
I found a DIY system: http://www.largeformatphotography.info/unicolor/
that will do 2 sheets at a time. Not a process I'd like to do, however.

Yes. I have done both E-6 and C-41 in a JOBO 2521 tank (for 6 sheets) and a
2551 (for 12 sheets) in a JOBO CPE-2 processor. I use their 2509n reels. You
probably want their loader to load the film on the reels, although I am told
it can be done without.
