Epson Perfection V750-M Pro Flatbed Film Scanner

[Lowenburg]

Has anyone out there used the new Epson Perfection V750-M Pro Flatbed Film Scanner? I'm thinking of buying one and would like to hear from anyone who has one or who has used one.

Thanks!!

I own one. Haven't used it much yet. My purchase was a large upgrade jump, so do not have any experience with the 1800F or 4990.

The scans I have made of 8x10 negs are wonderful. Much better than my older scanner.

There are some good threads on this at lfphoto.info in the Q&A Forum.

If you are planning to just scan 35 mm, I would go for a dedicated film scanner like the Nikon V. The Epson V series aren't a that much of a jump in performance compared to a 4870/4990, so I don't think most people will find the upgrade worth the price if they already own one of those scanners. If you don't have a scanner and are looking for a versatile solution to scan multiple larger film formats, the V series does offer a lot for its price point.

My $.02,

How much of a quality jump would there be going from a photo 3200 and the v series? Worth saving up for?

In practical experience the 700 series offers no discernable increase in performance over the 4490. They are tremendous scanners for the price, but aren't in the same league as a drum scan.

Thanks David,

I checked out the discussion on lfphoto.info that you suggested and it sounds like the jury is still out on this scanner.

Thanks to everyone for their input!
