There are two predominantly popular packages that would fit your
photographic workflow needs: the Eye-One Photo from GretagMacbeth and
the Pulse ColorElite Standard system with UV and Optix from
X-Rite/Monaco. Both solutions are comparably under $1500 and in general
performance. And you're right, both packages only include a 5"x7"
reflective IT8.
The Scanner software modules included in both are compatible with
IT8/ANSI certified reflective and transparent targets. That means you
can usually and safely assume that the popular targets (Kodak, Fuji,
HutchColor, etc.) will be compatible.
Hope that helps?
