Scanner?

  1. Jaxie
    What do you use to scan 120 film? I'm in the market for a scanner that does prints, 35mm and 120. I've heard good things about the Epson v500. Any one have any suggestions?

    The Epson V500 is good value for scanning negs / trannies for web sharing (e.g. Flickr). You might want to invest a bit more if you want very high quality images for digital printing.

    Most of the stuff in my gallery is scanned on a V500, you might look into a V700 which is better. Most of these are for medium format 35mm is sub optimal.
    I have a V500 for 6x6 and a Minolta DiMage for 35mm

    I have the Epson V750, which is very similar to the V700, and I am very satisfied with it - it is almost as good as the very expensive Hasselblad scanners for 120 film (see one of the last issues of the french magazine "Réponses Photo")

    Canon 8800F, takes both 35mm and 160 (and 16mm with a little work on a folm holder), very good for a flatbed scanner that can even scan 3-dimensional objects, I once scanned a revolver I was selling, it made a sale in zero time.

    I have an Epson v700 which I use for 35mm and 120, it can scan film up to 8 * 10 if need be. Results are generally excellent; the only real problem I have is that recent self-developed films have been very curly and it's very difficult to grip them in the film holders.

    I've been using a Microtek i800Pro for a year now. I had to pay twice as much as I had paid for an Epson v500. However there are few advantages of Microtek that made me aquiring it. D=4.0, histogram in f(D) linear gamma - which let you use the scanner as a simple densitometer with not so much effort; much more reliable film holders, Silverfast support (a copy of full SF included), and lastly, from a Mac user standpoint the scanner can be attached through the firewire, which I find more stable than usb.

    I've been using a Canon Cano-Scan for several years. But I think it's time to upgrade. It scans nice but I'd like to get one that can scan slides and negatives.

    I use a CanoScan 8400F with an adapter for my 6x6 negs and it also came with a 35mm neg and 35mm slide adapter.

    I read Plustek is coming with a dedicated medium format scanner. The Epson V700/750 is popular.
    I use the Nikon 8000 with the glass carrier and like the results. Getting old now for an electronic device. Wish it had the life expectancy of a Rollei.

    Minolta Dimage Multi Scan (no Pro) ... I am still trying to figure this thing out.

    Good morning;

    While I will admit that I am not sure about the Minolta Dimage Multi Scan (Pro?), I can say that the earlier Minolta Dimage ScanDual and its descendents are 35mm only. This is one of the reasons why I am working on a Nikon CoolScan 9000ED at this time which does have 120 film capability also, but there are some other film holders that are probably easier to use for scanning 120 than the Nikon holder. And I have found that locating accessories and things for the Minolta film scanners now is a challenge.

    Enjoy; Ralph, Latte Land, Washington
