As far as scanners go, this is hardly my first rodeo: Starting with a used Nikon LS-10 35mm scanner over 20 years ago, Ive gotten a taste of scanners in various formats, and even though Ive been almost exclusively using 35mm up until very recently, Ive understood the virtues of high-quality flatbeds...
Very happy with the results (35mm film at least). As mentioned else where, it is very much a dust magnet. So you need good dust management and "hygiene" (including the room you are working in) when handling film. I also bought a cover for protection when not in use.
Although the Epson Perfection V800 Photo ($739.99) is a flatbed scanner -and can scan photographic prints- its real value is as a film scanner. It can handle both positive and negative film (including slides) in sizes ranging from 35mm to as large as 8 by 10 inches.
High-quality scans for photographic prints and film (including slides); Scan modes range from full auto to full control over settings
Doesn't come with a photo editor or any other application program
Software a bit of a hassle to set up. Instructions are dismal. However, the scans are excellent once you get it set up and figure out the software. The colors are accurate, and the scans are sharp. The holders are quite nice, especially for scanning slides.
I am replacing an Epson 1600 purchased in 2000. Hope this one is as good as first one.
A bought this product to replace a 4990 that developed stripes when scanning 35 mm slides. Having used it mainly in wintertime the same problem has occurred with the V800 just two years after purchase. While the quality of the scans is very good, I'm disappointed with the durability of the V800
Scanner is fast to warm up and fast to scan. Doing all my scans at double resolution or higher now because of speed. Epson scan software is straightforward. Have tried few negatives so far but with no problems. Speed is better than I expected.
I got this scanner for a huge family project to scan my late parents photos and negatives from the 1930s to the 2000's. I am actually scanning the bulk of prints for the 70s on with a Fujitsu ScanSnap.
I had been using an old Perfection 2450 to scan slides and negatives for creating photos to sell on Ebay. I was never happy with the scanned images which lacked the sharp definition of the original slides and negatives.
