sfage Posted September 19, 2011 Share #2 Posted September 19, 2011 Hamrick's Vuescan is the standard these days. The v700's performance with MF is very good. It's not "as" good for 35mm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In b&w the Epson is the best compared to Nikonscan Send me a MP if you need some more information Good scan ! Best Henry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kokoshawnuff Posted September 19, 2011 Share #4 Posted September 19, 2011 Like Henry, I've had great results with the V700 and standard Epson software for black and white negatives. 50/50 results with color negatives (new Portra 400, Portra 400nc, and Ektar 100 are the best successes).

thomasw_ Posted September 19, 2011 Share #5 Posted September 19, 2011 I use VueScan with my v700; it is excellent software and easy to configure. As for the better Nikon 9000 scanners, I'd suggest that they are only essential if you don't wet print. If you only scan so as to post to the Web, the V700 is more than good enough. YMMV Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
j. borger Posted September 20, 2011 Share #6 Posted September 20, 2011 I do not need anything but Epson scan. But i shoot strictly B&W . If you think the Epson V700 is not good enough for 35mm i strongly suggest to shoot a roll of Rollei 80S and scan it with glassholders (if necessary). Just to see the effect of a high resolution perfectly flat drying film on scannerresults. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
250swb Posted September 20, 2011 Share #7 Posted September 20, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) While I accept Vuescan is good software I just hate the interface, so use Silverfast or the Epson Scan software that came with the scanner. The biggest improvement I made to scanning was to stop using Tri-X and start using HP5 (and FP4) and this stopped curly negatives that the neg holders don't hold flat. I never have been a Tri-X until I die type of person, so it wasn't a great loss. And building on that I got an Anti Newton Ring glass strip that completely flattens the negatives, sitting in the Epson film holder its a breeze to use. Having got all curl out of the negative it is possible to properly access the software, and this is when I stopped using Vuescan and went back to Silverfast for its easier interface and speed.

radfilm Posted September 20, 2011 Share #8 Posted September 20, 2011 Yes the Epson V700 is a great scanner. The trays are a little weak but will work. I have upgraded my Silverfast software to the top of the line. I sometime use the HDRi option. It is much sharper than the Epson 3200 perfection I used to use.. Great for the web and prints. Is their better, yes but for the money the quality is amazing. I have never used Vuescan but have been working with Silverfast forever.. It has really became a better system.

Stealth3kpl Posted September 20, 2011 Share #10 Posted September 20, 2011 I got an Anti Newton Ring glass strip that completely flattens the negatives, sitting in the Epson film holder Steve Is this the "Better Scanning" glass? I didn't realise it would fit the Epson holder. Is it worth getting the BS holders and glass or just the glass for the Epson holder? Please advise as my birthday is imminent!

Doc Henry Posted September 20, 2011 Share #13 Posted September 20, 2011 I'm back home and my computer is better than we have in the office ... Recently, I developed in my home lab , several b&w films as Kodak TMax400 , Fuji Acros 100 and Ilford FP100 (with Ilfosol S or 3) I passed in parallel on the Nikonscan (14 bits max) and the EpsonScan (16 bits) all at 3200 and 4800 dpi some nice views .... Well I think the Epson is better you can see these photos here: http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/nature-wildlife/194729-suuumm55-2.html I also took the abbey with M9 but I am not satisfied with the general rendering (see this link for the M9 picture) http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/nature-wildlife/196975-visit-vauclair-abbey-med-plants.html Finally, it's black-white film (with Epsonscan) that is closest to what I see !

Anyone can share your experience ? Do i upgrade Silverfast ? Tks Tiep, To be honest, for this portrait , I prefer the first version : the skin and hair of the lady seem to me more natural and also better contrast ! I rarely use SilverFast (which is supplied with the scanner) I use mostly EpsonScan software !
