What is better: Stitching or using a high megapixel camera?

Are you sure it’s film flatness and not the lens? If it’s film flatness then you probably need to investigate a different negative/transparency holder, even for single shot capture.

Recommend camera/lens combination for scanning 4x5 and 6x7 negs

Hi, I’m trying to figure out the best possible combination of camera and lens for scanning my 4x5/6x7 negs with the caveat being my budget, which is up to 1000(1200 max) euros. I thought I had it narrowed down to Sony A7 mk 1 , but I just read about the shutter shock so I guess it is a no-go. Resolution is important as I have plans to print big and i don’t mind doing multiple shots and stitching. That being said I guess I will need extension tubes? Bonus one:) Do you have some recommendation…
