Almost a perfect scanner
I have negatives and slides in multiple formats from 35mm through to 5x4 large format. With several thousand negatives to scan and archive I needed a solution that would help me to batch scan. Reading reviews on the internet, most reviewers commented that for 35mm scans a dedicated film scanner gives better resolution. However, I did not want to purchase either a scanner that is no longer supported, such as the Nikon range, or a new scanner that has to be manually fed one slide at a time.
The Epson V800 allows me to scan up to 18 35mm negs in one batch using the supplied holders, or up to 24 negs with the older V700 neg holders. Whilst I am not going to get a pin sharp A3 print from a 35mm colour neg scan, the results from the Epson are more than acceptable, especially after playing around with the Silverfast settings.
Now to the maligned negative holders. A lot of people have complained about the plastic anti-newton inserts in the neg carriers but here's my take. For colour film I find the neg holders work perfectly, especially with badly curled film. The insert holds them flat, and by using infra red dust removal in the scanning software, dust isn't much of an issue. Saying that they are a pain to keep clean and for black and white film I would recommend buying the V700 holders, which cost around £14 each. Infra red dust removal does not work on true black and white film (or Ektachrome) and plastic inserts in both the 35mm and medium format holders are dust magnets. The V700 holders do not have inserts, and hold more negs (24 for 35mm and two strips of medium format film). Using the V700 results in a lot less manual spotting with black and white film.
In terms of the software, I find Silverfast to be excellent, but have upgraded to the full Ai version. Especially the frame detect, which is very useful for different neg holders. I did try Vuescan but it was painful to set up with the V700 holders compared to Silverfast. The large number of film profiles in Silverfast also was a bonus as compared to Vuescan or the Epson scanning program.
All in all, an excellent scanner, particularly if you have large numbers of negs or slides to scan.
