I wonder if I can digitalise my 6x7 film using my enlarger and a simple flatbed scanner? It should work fine if I properly adjust the focus on the enlarger. However, the scanner always switches his lamp on!
Anyone has experience with this?
Every information is appreciated.

I used my Canon 8600F to scan my 6x6 and 6x7 positives and it worked well. It is surprisingly fast compared the Minolta Dual Scan IV I had for 35mm film, and the quality is quite good. Mine was NOS (new old stock)when I bought it, and it came with the proper adapters in the box, and I would do it again for the small amount of money it cost relative to the convenience of what you are proposing. I already had a working flatbed scanner when I bought the Canon, and then gave the previous one to a family member.
Good luck.
