Ive got the V500 - acquired on the recommendation of you list guys a
while back -- very happy with it.. except I've managed to get a couple
of scratches on the glass :-( from putting things on it to scan for
ebay that I shouldn't have I guess. for 35mm negs and chromes I can
avoid the scratched spots

The Epson software is far superior to Vuescan on Epson flatbeds. The V500 does
a good job. The V850 Is superb

I have the Epson V500: when my mother reached her 100th. birthday in 2018, my
brother and I scanned all of her negatives, ranging in size from 1.5inches
square to 6x9cm and going back in time to the 1900's. We were unable to scan
the 110 size negs as the scanner's holders can't really hold them flat enough.
The scanner did an excellent job (I have to confess we used the Epson software
for this job!) overall, even with some really flat and mushy originals: makes
me think some early cheap cameras really did have bottle-bottoms for a lens.

Subject: Re: spotmatics and unexposed film and gfm, oh my
I'm a little late to this but the Epson Perfection V550 is supposed to be
pretty much the same engine as the V500. I keep looking at one but I haven't
fired up my film scanner in such a long time...

I have Epson V500 with those adapters (no longer on the shelves).
And I am a happy user of VueScan.
It is simply too good for a business model from the customer's point of view.
I also have a Nikon Coolscan V ED, a dedicated film scanner which is
no longer supported.
It does a better scanning of 135 but it can not take 120.

It's me again, Margaret.
My basement is full. Not "there's some stuff on the shelves we don't
need and I'd like to clean them off to make room for the new
Christmas decorations" full, but "tiny, narrow paths that don't quite
get me to where I need to be, and if I don't come out in fifteen
minutes call the paramedics and hope they have the jaws of life"
full. If you'd asked me about my SP500 I'd have responded in the
affirmative, but without a clue which box it was actually inside.
Nevertheless, I found it the other day, along with a 135/3.5 Super
Takumar and a
55/1.8 SMC Takumar. (I do like the feel of a Super Takumar lens.)
The battery was surprisingly not dead and the operation of the
mechanical parts smooth and effortless. The knurled bit on the end
of the film advance lever is possibly one of my favorite features to
be found on any camera. Which leads me to film. I need some.
Voilà! The very next box I opened was full of film. Some of it was
exposed, but the vast majority was unexposed 35mm. Lots of slide
film and not an insignificant amount of b&w. And another unexposed
roll of Kodachrome. (Sigh. I find one of these every once in a
while, crammed into a coat pocket, or a shoe box.) It's all past its
best by date, but I think we're in business.
A certain person, who shall remain anonymous, but who's name rhymes
with Spark McRoberts, suggested I drag the black and white lab to GFM
one more time. (Some of you may recall that I protested the photo
competition's switch to digital by souping and then scanning my own
film on-site.) Plans are to be there this year with enough chemicals
to make your average state trooper call for SORT backup.
Which leads me to film scanners. I need one. The Canon
8400turdbucket is no longer supported. They say the previous drivers
should work with DOS10, but they don't. Flatbeds are ok, preferably
with 35mm and 120 holders. I'm open to suggestion.
See you in May/June. Don't say you weren't warned.

Any idiot can shoot with a Canon, Nikon, or Sony, it takes a special kind of
idiot to use a Pentax.
