Epson Scanner Question

[Kevin Crisp]

Is there an older model that does a decent job on larger negatives like 8X10, 4X10 and 5X7? I know the V700 is good, but I only scan them for emailing and posting so my standards aren't super high. I have a 2400 something now that can't do 5X7 and can almost do 4X10. Quality is plenty good enough for what I need.

If there is some brand other than Epson, I'd be fine with that. I'm just looking for a reasonably priced flat bed (used) for larger film sizes.

Thanks.

The epson 4990 covers up to 8x10 but its rare and very popular.

[Kevin Crisp]

Terrific. Thanks.

I have a 3200 laying around that I will give you for the shipping. I think it will do 8x10? I have no holders, instructions etc.-just the scanner which worked the last time I used it like 4-5 years ago before replacing it with a 4990 and then V750.

[Kevin Crisp]

This is very generous of you. The specs I've found on line indicate a maximum scan of 4X9 on film, though. Unless they're conservative.

[Kirk Gittings]

Sorry I couldn't remember.

[Kevin Crisp]

No need to apologize, that was a generous offer and I appreciate it.

For emailing puroses i like to take a picture with my dslr. I set my light table on the ground, carefully focus my camera on a tripod and bubble level. And shoot. However i dont have a scanner to speak of so im going to now ask my own scanner question. i hope nobody minds.

I'm in the market for a good scanner. It will be used to make digital copies to send to the lab. (the used a crappy scan the last time i sent my film to them. i have my eye set on the epson v700 to v750. To my underatanding, the only difference is the number on the box and a wet mount film holder. Is it possible to dyi a solution to wet mount on a v700?

I think that Betterscan does a wet mount after market holder.

Also, I think that there is a difference in the lens/focusing system on the 750 compared to the 700.

Both very capable scanners.

The differences between the V700 & V750 besides the wet mount film holder are:

The flat bed glass is coated (Lens are the same as V700) focus is fixed in both.

Upgraded version of Silverfast (AI), including Monaco EZColor (V700 only includes Silverfast SE)
