5 out of 5 stars Epson V500 Photo Scanner   July 21, 2008
Epson Perfection V500 Photo Scanner

I purchased this scanner to digitize old slides and photos after attempting to use a different scanner with very poor results. I based my choice on the recommendations of several photographers who use this scanner. The Epson V500 does an excellent job scanning slides, photo negatives, and prints. This is the scanner to purchase if you have a big scanning project and want quality results!



5 out of 5 stars Very nice. Lots to learn   July 19, 2008
I ordered this on 7-15 and it arrived on 7-19 with free shipping. Very fast. I loaded the software in about 30 minutes and then started to play around with the equipment. I used Epson scan and the included Adobe Photoshop 4.0. Photoshop is up to 6.0 now but what can you say for a free add on program? I needed to go on line to the epson site and the Adobe site to get detailed instructions for operations. The only written instructions that came with the equipment were limited to where to plug which cord into which socket. I scanned 3 35mm color negatives at 6400 dpi with 48 dpi color with 768x1024 screen size and backlight corrections and ICE and it took 15 minutes or 5 minutes per negative That is about as detailed as one can go and so this is the maximum scanning time for those settings. I haven't tried the auto function but I am sure it will be faster but I like the detail that comes with the 6400 dpi imiges. The individual files for these scans were 4.7 to 6.7 MB after working with them in Photoshop. I am very pleased. I have about 1-2000 slides to digitize so I will be working at it for quite some time but I am very pleased with the equipment and software. It will take some time to get used to but I have time. I am retired.


4 out of 5 stars V5000 Scanner   July 11, 2008
Quality Scanner with lots of features.Fully automatic mode for a beginner or pick and choose your settings in the manual mode for the more exsperienced. This scanner is very easy to operate and priced right.


5 out of 5 stars Great for Film Scanning - Holga Negative Tip   July 3, 2008
This is a great scanner. I bought it for scanning black and white film negatives, primarily medium format. Here's a tip. For medium format use the Professional Mode, which gives you the most options. Using the negative carrier is great for traditional cameras, but if you are scanning negatives taken with a Holga, place the film directly on the glass and uncheck the thumbnail button. This way you'll be able to select the portion of the negative that is scanned. Scanning Holga negatives using the negative carrier will cut off the cool edges of the frame unique to the Holga.


5 out of 5 stars I am very pleased with this scanner   July 2, 2008
I am totally happy with this scanner. I got it yesterday and was scanning my first negative within 30 minutes.

The online manual is not very good and the one piece of paper that came with it for setup is really lacking.

How ever by trial and error and experimenting I figured it out. I got this primarily to scan my old medium format negs. I was hoping it would scan 4x5 negs but it won't. They don't tell you how to connect the little pigtail at the back of the scanner to do neg scans. I had to search out a few things in the online manual and figure out the rest, but the job it does is very good.

This is worth every dollar.
