Some of the higher priced regular flatbed scanners do scan 4x5 with the
included transparency adapter in the lid. I don't know what level of quality
and clearly the resolution is limited to about 1200 dpi.
For a lot of purposes (i.e. other than posters and gravure printing)
that should be just fine -- 4800x6000 pixels at 120 ppi (pretty decent
for continuous tone printing) would be 40 x 50 inches.
