Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Epson Perfection V750-M Pro Photo Scanner (B11B178061)Customer Review: Stunning results for a flatbed scanner Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this scanner a couple of years ago to do a high-res 35mm (Kodachrome) slide -> digital file conversion. I also bought it because all of my dad's slides (shot 40+ years ago) are on the verge of useful life. He also shot medium format with a 5x7 Kodak and a speed graphic.
The 35mm slide to digital worked great, and two years later, I'm finally started the main project. I downloaded all the new drivers and Silverfast Ai updates (though the V750 now appears to come with SE), and installed it on a dedicated 2.6Ghz core2duo (4GB dram, hooked up via USB) machine. Works great.
I'm doing 35mm negatives right now, and while it took me a while to dial in the focus, I'm very happy with what I'm getting. Excellent detail in the shadows (I believe the Dmax 4.0 claim), and believe I'm getting the 4800 dpi I'm scanning for. (I know 4800dpi for color neg is a waste, but the detail from the Kodachrome conversion I did a couple years back makes me a believer.) 9 minutes/frame@4800dpi with ICE@high-res.
Silverfast allows color reversal with dozens of types of reversal film masks, with individual control (gamma, color, ICE, resolution, orientation, etc.) over each frame. Then you just batch scan the entire holder. (A word about the film/slide holders. They're made of polycarbonate, and feel flimsy, but I've found polycarbonate to be pretty strong stuff. No complaints so far.) I have not tried the Epsonscan software that's also included.
I would buy this scanner again (as a film scanner) in a heartbeat. It would be a waste to buy this scanner as a normal reflective unit (and it does work that way). But if you want to scan in archive quality negs/transparencies for preservation, this is an excellent buy.
(I will update this review when I start doing all of the medium format stuff.)
