The AgX price list calls them "Hasselblad drum scans."  Must be using a Flextight rather than a true drum scanner.  But I like the price.  I have paid 4 times that for a Flextight scan in my area.
Good catch. I sent them one 4x5 and im pretty happy with the results. I'll send them a couple more that I have scanned with a "true" drum scanner and compare.

The Imacon (Hasselblad) IS a drum scanner. It's not however a PMT drum scanner and that's a significant difference! I've owned many scanners (PMT drums and otherwise) and many Imacon's too and it's a very good scanner but not in the league with a PMT scanning gel mounted originals with a PMT.
