Here there is another personal test with the epson v700

He says:
scan resolution Vertical Horizontal
1800spi 1825 2048
2400spi 2299 2580
3200spi 2580 2896
4800spi 2299 2896
6400spi 2299 2896

Pier, the chart you posted for the V850 earlier on in the thread, would those figures differ much for the V800
IIRC Epson said that the V8x0 series has optical improvements vs the older V7x0, but I'm skeptical that this could end in a practical difference.
IMHO it's the same, with the great improvement in convenience because the LED light source.
I'd say that the main difference is in the man that process the image. I try to learn from people that has magic in their fingers and make a sound edition with few clicks, being not much intrussive aganist the original (...or changing it a lot) but having an amazing aesthetical criterion to know what to touch.
Here (http://www.filmscanner.info/en/Epson...V600Photo.html) it says that it performs 1560 dpi effective if scanning at least at nominal 3200 dpi
Interesting article which got me thinking. Slightly off topic but it refers to the height the film is above the scanner glass to obtain optical focus on the V series.
I never use the supplied holders, I use the wet mount holder but in a dry environment for MF 35mm and 4x5
I place the film onto of the wet holder and then place a piece of etched glass onto of the film which really keeps it flat. For ease I just made a hinge to make it easier to lift the top piece of glass.
Sometimes I do place a black mask on top to stop light scattering but the times I haven't I have not seen any scattering.
Thinking Behind This Approach
The wet holder is of a fixed height, with no available adjustments so I figured that it must have been designed and manufactured with the optical distance in mind.
Whats your thoughts on my thoughts... ?
As was touched on earlier, getting the best performance from your scanner is important, but so minimizing quality losses at later stages. Re-sizing, sharpening, and compression types matter, as does avoiding having to rotate the photo in Photoshop.
