High Quality Scans. The best flatbed scanner in the price range. Challenges scanners costing twice the price.

Does a great job scanning 35mm, 120, 4x5, and larger! Buy the additional wet mount for even more capability! Comes with 2 of every adapter so you can be scanning one and prepping the other!

Best scanner for 35mm slides.

Scanning 2000+ 35mm slides. The slides are 60-80 years old, should have done years ago. Slides loose some of the color over the years. I agree with all the recommendations that this is the best scanner for what I am doing. I am using VueScan software to create an image of the 12 slides and process another day. Buy a few extra slide holders. Also created for scanning photos.

It is simply THE scanner to get if you are serious about scanning photos or slides, haven't tried negatives, but it has the adapter. Historical Society is happy.

Sharp scans and slightly faster than V600

I enjoy using this scanner along with the EpsonScan. I have also used the SilverScan program; it requires more of a learning curve. I purchased the scanner to digitalize family photos from years ago. It is slightly shaper than the V600 but would be hard to tell if not comparing scanned photos side by side, but not as sharp as digitalizing using my Sony camera with a Sony macro lens. Using the scanner is a slower process upfront but the colors are more true to life than with my digital camera which is faster upfront but that requires more tweaking to get the colors right after capturing the photo/s.

A good all purpose purpose scanner

I ordered the Epson V850 to do a slide scanning project, of well over 10,000 slides. Once you successfully download the Epson Scan, and Silver Fast software, you have your choice of two very good software packages. If used properly, both will give you good results. The Silver Fast software has a higher learning curve, but you can achieve some stunning results with it.
The scanner comes with a variety of film holders, which will accommodate 35mm film strips, 35mm slides, and larger B+W and color negative films or transparencies.
In addition to being a very good scanner for negatives and transparencies, the V850 is capable of scanning documents and pictures up to 8.5" X 11.7" in size.
Finally I would recommend buying a warranty extension, if you plan on doing thousands of scans.

Review of V850 purchased at Best Buy recently

The IT person who set it up for me said it was new but an older version of the V850. The Silverfast 8 that came with it was already outdated and wasn’t compatible. He went in and updated to the software Silverfast 9 but I had to pay extra. Now it is supposed to work. He said it should be a good scanner.

This is the gold standard for flatbed scanners. Depending on specific needs, VueScan software can be more useful than the provided Epson software.

Very high quality scans but it takes a VERY long time to scan slides. I bought it to do stereo slides but so far have not seen a way to do them. Epson said that it would.
