Stephen,

Try the longer end 50-70 on your 28-70. Choose by a window or open door on an overcast day. Tripod job. I did loads in the days of film for publishing in a book my mother wrote. I have not tried digital yet, but using RAW with its flexibility I could not imagine that results, other than your curl problem, would be that inferior to a scanner.

You could overcome the curl by using anything that does not cast a shadow to hold the pic down by its corners, then crop and add a new border in pp.
