This is very basic question but not one which I've encountered before,
at least not recently.  I didn't readily find an answer in the List
archives.  

What is the best means of reproducing good quality copies of an older
8x10 print which was shot with 35mm film but for which no negative was
preserved?  I know the best reproduction would be off of a negative, but
if you only have the print, what method would you ask a photo expert to
use to produce the best possible copy?  Scanning?  Or some other method?
 Years ago I had to have some copy negatives made, but I was wondering
what you photo experts would consider the best method of reproduction
nowadays.

Thanks, and off list replies would be fine!
