   Why is it that artist sketch book format is usually Arch A aka. 9x12" yet any scanner with a bed larger than 8.5x11" is at least $1,000 USD?

   A DSLR is also way above my price range. I don't really know what to do. I'm tired of my crappy iPhone pictures poorly edited in Photoshop.

   Artists of Mastodon, what's your setup to quickly digitize your analog media with ok quality?

     @psoul @aarbrk get a membership to the Harvey milk photo center, or rent the hourly Epson 10000XL scanner at photolaundry. I think Harvey milk also has it

     @psoul I don't have this device, but it looks pretty decent at a lower price point than a DSLR:
