 Great for Film Scanning - Holga Negative Tip July 3, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a great scanner. I bought it for scanning black and white film negatives, primarily medium format. Here's a tip. For medium format use the Professional Mode, which gives you the most options. Using the negative carrier is great for traditional cameras, but if you are scanning negatives taken with a Holga, place the film directly on the glass and uncheck the thumbnail button. This way you'll be able to select the portion of the negative that is scanned. Scanning Holga negatives using the negative carrier will cut off the cool edges of the frame unique to the Holga.
I am very pleased with this scanner July 2, 2008

I am totally happy with this scanner. I got it yesterday and was scanning my first negative within 30 minutes.
The online manual is not very good and the one piece of paper that came with it for setup is really lacking.
How ever by trial and error and experimenting I figured it out. I got this primarily to scan my old medium format negs. I was hoping it would scan 4x5 negs but it won't. They don't tell you how to connect the little pigtail at the back of the scanner to do neg scans. I had to search out a few things in the online manual and figure out the rest, but the job it does is very good.
This is worth every dollar.

 I Really Wanted This To Work - Flimsy Film Holders July 2, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Right out of the box, this was clearly a nice unit. Set-up was hassle free. I had about 300 old slides to scan, as well as 30 rolls of old black and white 35mm film negatives. The software that came with the scanner had some really nice features as well.
I wasn't sure what resolution to set the scans at, so I went on line to get some advice. The prevailing wisdom was 2400 dpi, if you wanted 8 x 10 prints. This resulted in a 20MB file!!! There was a compression setting as well, and I had no idea at all what to set it to, so I experimented, and finally figured out settings that worked. There wasn't really anything in the Epson manual that was very helpful.
The actual scans were good - crisp pictures, worthy of printing. However, after about two rolls of film, I unplugged the scanner, boxed it up, and sent it back. My unresolvable gripe? The film holder would not consistently keep the negatives in place. I had to cut the film into 6 negative sections. This film was from the 40's and 50's, and wanted to stay rolled up. I would put it in the film holders, and quite frequently, they would pop open - quite unexpectedly, and I would have to start all over again. The problem is with the design of the film holder. The top sections that hold the film in place have thin sides, and they flex quite a bit, and won't stay locked into place. For me, this was frustrating, wasn't going to get better, and was a deal breaker.
I ended up getting a Canon CanoScan 8800F, and it is flawless! The film holders are more robust, and I had no popping open issues at all. The quality was every bit as good as the Epson, and interestingly enough, at a high dpi scan rate (2400), I ended up with about a 2MB file - I am really much happier with this unit.
