We purchased the V850 recently as an upgrade for our V750 and F500 Scanners, which were great, but we wanted the latest scanner because of how much film we'll be scanning in the next few years. Epson scanners get the job done at a professional level. Thank you.
The Epson V850/800 is a great machine. I have used my Epson V850 scanner for many years, imaging thousands of 8x10" nitrate photo negatives, 5x7" polyester and nitrate negatives, 4x5 polyester and nitrate negatives, 6x6 and 6x9cm polyester, 35mm slides & negatives, 120 format, 127 format, 110 format, and recently a group of 1000 ~100 year old nitrate and polyester negatives measuring 6"x3.5" shot over a twenty year period. I have used the wet mount accessory many times with remarkably wonderful results when it comes to clarity and removing scratch marks. The wet mount accessory is one of those things that goes under the radar until you try it. Its extra and takes some training, but there is no substitute when it comes to removing small scratches that plague old - and new - photo negatives. I use older Apple equipment for the power, not to mention the convenience in file naming using the Automator utility provided with OSX I also have a V600, which I use for smaller sized film (6x6cm, 35mm, etc), but when it comes to big negatives there is little to match the V850 for regular folks on a budget. My only regret is that there is not more detailed information concerning how the unit can be used. That said, the accompanying Epson software is great, especially when it comes to color correction.
I am pleased to have such a versatile scanner. I bought it to scan film and it can do all the formats I care about. It can also scan prints. The film scanning holders are different from the ones I've used before with only one strip for 120 or one frame for 4x5. Not the best for any volume but okay for small jobs. There is also a plastic sheet that attracts dust and hairs that wasn't on the ones I've used before. That is why I only gave it four stars. But, with that said - I am very pleased to have this device.
I installed the software and went to register the scanner with the serial number US5W023389 and got an error stating that it was the wrong serial number. I tried several times with no luck... Until I tried US5WO23389 -- see photo of original SN & you'll realize why I typed a 0 instead of an O.
I'm happy with the scans, however I don't like the negative holders for 6x7 format. Most photographers that shot 6x7 film cut the negs in strips of three, The holders that came with the V850 don't work. You have to scan two frames then flip the negative to scan the third frame.
Bought this a month ago mainly for digitizing slides and camera film strips. Does the job just hope I don't wear it out too soon...I have thousands of things to digitize. Just wish the scanning bed was a bit bigger....the pages I scan are a bit bigger than the scan area, so I have to leave some blank spaces. I can fix the film scans in Photo Shop.
I bought this scanner because it offers scanning of medium- and large-format negatives. I was concerned about its actual resolution potential in spite of its native 640 dpi. I'm comparing it to the results I obtain from a Nikon 4000 ED, which scans at 4000 dpi. The Epson is actually not producing sharpness that equals the Nikon, straight out of the scanner. However, I do obtain reasonably comparable sharpness to the Nikon if I apply a post-scan workflow similar to what I apply to my digital photographs. I can apply similar to the Nikon scans, but if I push too hard they look too driven) What is working for me is to take the scan through DXO Photolab Noise reduction, and then through PhotoShop SmartSharp or similar. The DXO NR seems to prep the the scan for sharpening better than if I sharpen first. In terms of color fidelity, I've used both the included Silverfast (8 SE+) to drive the scanner and Vuescan (Pro), and each offer the same functionality, but I'm seeing much more realistic color rendition when using VueScan. In terms of value, I think that one should look at the reviews of the V800, which the reviewers believe offers the same performance for significantly less money. You get a lower level of Silverfast, but you can add Vuescan and still be much cheaper than the V850. The V850 offers the ability to calibrate, but I haven't done that yet because 20-40 year-old film and slides are pretty variable anyway, and I'm getting very realistic colors from it with Vuescan (better than the Nikon for negatives). You get a duplicate set of holders with the 850, which lets you mount the next tray while one is scanning. I do think the glass-based negative holders are a plus in terms of flattening the film, and I suggest trying the different height adjustments for sharpness. Attached are 4 scans of the same negative, from the two scanners, raw and with my post. The two raw scans are quite different in sharpness, but it takes serious peeping to see the sharpness difference after my post-process. I think the color rendition of the Epson makes up for it. The file names indicate which example is which. You may notice that my Epson post example is from a 3200 dpi scan. I really see no difference from scanning at higher sample density with the Epson. The lens is apparently not that sharp. Even 2400 looks about the same as 6400 dpi, when viewed comparably.
This is a $1,200 scanner we purchased for scanning Kodachrome slides but it is not compatible with any of our Apple products. We have attempted to use updates but no luck yet. If we can't get this to function we will send it back. Poor choice by Epson to not keep up with Apple OS products
I purchased my 1st Epson scanned 15 years ago. I was hoping that the software would have been updated, it has not. Works the same.The scanner work better in PRO Mode on a windows XP, and it was the only way I could get to give me high resolution scans. For the price I would not recommend this model
Nothing about this scanner has worked easily or well with my Mac. I could not get the Epson software to work at all on a computer running the latest Mac OS, Catalina, but I could get it to operate and on a different computer running Mojave, I was able to get the Espon software to run, but it only connect with the Epson printer/scanner I have on my network, not with the new scanner which has a wired-connection. I could only use the new scanner with the scanning software already on the Mac. Furthermore, as you can see by the error message below, the Silverfast software that came with the scanner would not even load. Furthermore, the device is not network-enabled so it must be connected via a cable, which means it has to be located next to the computer. While the software failures have prevented me from seeing the full capability of this scanner, the operation of the scanning with the resident Mac scanning app has not been appreciably better and certainly no faster than the scanning on my Epson WF-4740 printer/scanner. All-in-all, this V850 scanner is the most disappointing Epson device I have purchased. It was not only expensive to purchase, it cost me hours of my time in a futile effort to get it to function properly. It may well be the last Epson product I acquire.
