    Scanning MF with Epson V600

    ...down, so that the film curled towards the glass, resulted in slightly sharper scans. So now I am wondering if I should invest in the betterscanning glass and mount (which I've read mixed reviews about) although I think these accessories may just be a pricey addition to a device unable to...

    Epson V750: optimizing film holder height?

    ...that doesn't resemble what I hear people discussing. (Mine looks exactly like this: ) I know I can buy a replacement holder from betterscanning, but until I do, I'd like to see if I can find a way to optimize the results I am getting with the default film holder. Thanks for any tips...

    For Sale FS: Epson V700 (Sydney/Australia)

    Thanks! The V700 doesn't have the wet scan mount. Also it doesn't come with betterscanning holder, just the ANR glass, it can be used with the OEM holder, just got to disconnect the trap door hinge thingy magica.

    Man, that's a good deal. I spent €545 getting my 2nd-hand V750 here from Europe, plus another $140 again for my Betterscanning holder & ANR glass (new). Just an FYI for anyone in Aus who wants to wet-scan (especially the lucky mug who gets this), Kami Fluid isn't available in Aus, but Scan...

    Scanning 8x10 with V-750 and Betterscanning holder

    ...and formats. It takes some getting used to like anything. The 120 holders are terrible for the v-750, and I highly recommend the betterscanning 120 variable height holders and ANR glass inserts from their company (google it). Their website is horrid but the product is great. The 35mm...

    ...humidity level the film edges lift up or the film actually glides and doesn't stay still (like an air hocky table). Now the company betterscanning is what I use for my 120 film with their ANR glass and it's great! but what I'm trying to ascertain is, the betterscanning company does NOT sell...

    Your favorite analog format? Why?

    ...more-or-less as big as 8x10 for print purposes. And when it comes to scanning, I can just barely fit a whole plate negative on my BetterScanning holder without cropping. So if I HAVE to go bigger, I can always scan and output a digi-neg. And the proportions are less square than 8x10 and more...

    Reg :- What paper do you prefer for 8x10 contact printing

    I just did my first sets of contact-prints last weekend, 4x5s on 5x7 paper, held down with just the betterscanning ANR glass from my scanner, I let the edges burn to a nice black. So far just MGiv Pearl, cheap and cheerful in a box of 100, same as I use in 8x10s for enlargements (only the best...

    Epson V700 Scanner

    I have scanned the same negative in both scanners. The Betterscanning holder for the v500 will help for a lot less than a v700, and will also allow scanning more med format frames at once, as the channel is longer. The Epson holder for the v700 is still not so good for curled negatives and the...

    35mm Ilford HP5 has strange lines

    The dark lines all the way across the image are power lines. I did pay for them to get scanned (and developed, since school has been out I have had no were to develop my B&W photos). The lines seem to be on the negative. I would be pissed if this happened because they developed it wrong. Thanks...

    35mm Ilford HP5 has strange lines

    ...are also darkish lines horizontally across, is that the problem? I see a similar thing on #5. I've had that happen on my v750 with the betterscanning wetmount holder, if the holder is not aligned properly the light gets confused and you can scan weird dark/bright lines into it. Or they could...

    Hi Matthew, If the whole package is still available I'll take it at $475. If you sell the Betterscanning holder to Nuff, (boo hoo), could you give me a price for the set minus the extra holders. I am in the process of arranging a drop off point for the RZ67 in Archerfield if that is...

    Scanning 35mm like 8x10

    Digitaliza experiences?

    Starting point? Thanks for the info. I've got the Digitiliza's for 35 and 120, and a V700 on the way from Epson. Just curious as to how thick you ended up making up those shims? I assume the required value can vary a bit from scanner to scanner, and I will need to do test scans and adjust the...

    First attempts, 35mm NOT pleased with the results.

    ...knows, that is not how you extract the best from these scanners - and yet their numbers are routinely quoted as gospel around the net. In my opinion, 2300 dpi is almost certainly understating the real optical performance of the Epson V750 when used with a properly adjusted betterscanning holder.

    First attempts, 35mm NOT pleased with the results.

    Hi hoakin1981... sounds like you are experienced with scanning, as you are already using the Betterscanning products. The Epson V700 holders have a crude height adjustment. In the absence of height adjustments on the holder, I guess the only way is to use a negative that you know is sharp...

    Scanning 8x10

    stone usually with transparency scanners it isn't the scanning lens that is toosmall, there isn't a 2nd lens the scanner uses to scan film / chromes it is an illuminated lid. the lid illuminates the film so the scanner's optical eye records it illuminated not "flat art / reflective" it...

    Scanning 8x10

    ...and so you end up having to use the film directly on the glass (instead of raising it up in a holder) [and yes I'm familiar with the betterscanning stuff] so the image quality is lower as you're using the lens meant to scan prints, not scan negatives. The largest film you can scan with the...
