I've been using the Epson V800 for a while now, and have found it good for 35mm and 120 film (5x4.5 and 6x9). Basically a P&S camera contained in a box with a decent focusing lens. One even has auto feed and a C size sensor. I have seen some nice cheap ones recently that use a CMOS sensor for under $100. Plustek 8100 - Vuescan-Color Perfect here. I mostly make wet prints out of my films and if it calls for a better and larger digital copy, I scan the print itself. It is more than enough for scanning 135 and 120 format films producing medium sized scans for the web. I still use an Epson Perfection 1670 (bought 2004)! A bit slow having to wait for the lamp to warm up, but will use it until it dies. Refurbed V550 replaced my craiglist V500 when it decided to quit working last year. I would love to have a SP-3000 but then we all have dreams. Refurbished V550 basic from Adorama not automated.įuji SP-3000 for 35mm and Microtek 120tf for medium, until I acquire MF mask for Fuji. Nikon Super Coolscan 4000ED for 35mm, and the Epson V600 Photo flatbed for medium format, The Minolta is pretty slow especially if you use ICE but you can just feed a strip of 6 photos and walk away. For color the Minolta is definitely better. Use the Minolta for color film, the V500 for B&W and of course Medium format.įor some reason, I like the results of the V500 for B&W better than the Minolta, even though the Minolta is a dedicated film scanner. I'm happy with B&W scans, but color is tough to work with.īeen using the Epson V500 until recently I bought a used Minolta Dimage Scan Elite II. If I ever use one again it will be my Nikon Coolscan V. I only shoot analog medium and large format. Usually I take several DSLR pictures of one negative and then stitch them together for higher resolution. I think I get more detail and dynamic range from the negative with my DSLR. I have a Epson v600 that I almost never use since I started to digitize my negatives with my DSLR and and macro lens. The difference is huge (as in the Coolscan being much better). I used the Epson Perfection V600 earlier, but bought a used Nikon Coolscan 8000. Seems to work out ok for both my 35mm and 120 film.įlatbed is not really a valid alternative for 35mm, at least not for me :-) Same here, though I modified my scanning process a bit. I still use the less expensive Epson V500. Not the greatest negative holders but still a good scanner. I have now for many years.Īnother vote for the EPSON V700. I was wondering what kind of scanner the people here use? Have anyone tried automated scanners like the ReflectaRPS10M I currently use a OptichFilm 8200, BUT I find the manual feeding way too time consuming.
