I have an Epson Perfection 3200 Photo bought in the early 2000s. She's still scannin'. Medium Format. 35mm positives or negatives. Rarely color. Ilford HP5+, FP4+, and Tri-X. Am like you, will eventually need a new scanner. It will be compatibility with my computer OS that puts the Epson out to pasture.

I have the 8200i. I really enjoy using it.
nice and crisp scans, good color. B&W comes out awesome. sample scan taken with an Olympus Stylus 120, Tri-X, HC110 (B)  Saturn 5 F1 Engines by Chris B, on Flickr

This is precisely the post I was going to make here.
I need a scanner that can handle negatives and slides. 35mm and 2 1/4" x 2 1/4" medium format from my Hasselblad. If it can handle 4" x 5" too, even better. My budget would be $750-$1000. Leaning towards flatbeds, but will consider others. Any recommendations? |

I got the scanner set up and did some initial test scans... all seems good to go. I'll have some prints made of the scans by tomorrow and see how they come out.

Well I believe we have a winner! I scanned some sample negs, normal / over exposed / under exposed and the results were great. I used the multiple exposure setting on dark images and scanned all at 4000dpi.
Back from Walgreens and the scanned images were actually better than the original prints from the lab. $399 delivered and it will pay for itself quickly. |

Quoted: I am one of those die hards that still own and use a 35mm (Nikon F2). I have been sending my film out for processing, but have recently started developing my own film ( I worked in photo labs for over 14 years back in the 80's). So now the problem is having them printed, the closest "wet lab" is over 400 miles away. My question is on film scanners, and I've been looking at this one- Plustek scanner Has anyone used one? Or is there a better one out there? I have one. It works fine. The software provided with it is total crap though, and to get its full functionality you have to buy the full version (which is still crap). I suggest getting VueScan (https://www.hamrick.com), it is much better software. |

I have a Canon* 9000F MkII for scanning negatives,
but I do mostly 120 I've got the film holders for 35, 120 and slides sometimes I wish I could just press a button and everything gets done automagically  current experience with the LCS leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to prints.. they can't seem to do it right consistently * Canon's product support really sucks, having to run an app to view the manual is downright fucking stoooopid |
