Epson V550 VueScan

Is anyone using the V550 and what results are you getting. Also if using it with the Epson software or VueScan, what results. I would be using for 35mm and 120 medium format. I also have an older Minolta Scan Dual IV that I might use for 35mm, but the VueScan would work for both. I also have Photoshop CC and Lightroom for after processing. I would be doing B&W and color negatives and slides. Also would scan old pics that I don't have negs or slides. Not sure what the V600 has over the V550 or if it would worth the extra money.

Hi

Not got the V550, only have the older 4490, I would recommend Vuescan over Epson Scan, and I would also recomend only using it for 120 size film, your minolta scanner will produce far superior results with 35mm.

I was looking at the Epson V600 and the Canoscan 9000 II they seem to be similar, and I am not sure if either one has advantages over the other. The Canoscan 9000 II is a little cheaper. The V550 is still listed at B&H but out of stock. Wonder if the V550 is being replaced by the V600 as they have similar specs.

The V550 is a newer model than the V600 but I don;t know if it's better since the V600 costs more. Why don't you call Epson directly and ask them about the differences? I know the V600 allows me to scan three 6x7's while the V500 (not sure about the v550) only allows one or two.
