Comments about Epson Epson Perfection V500 Photo, 8.5" x 11.7" Flatbed Scanner, 6400 x 9600 dpi, 48 bit, USB 2.0 for Mac & Windows:

I use this scanner for 35mm and 120 color, b&w, and slide film for my art. It does well scanning the photos at high resolution. It's a bit slow on the higher side, so I suggest scanning in on a low res-level and review your photos to determine what ones will be high res scans. I also have to use Adobe Photoshop to occasionally adjust my photos as well, but that could be just for my tastes.

This scanner is perfect for our use. My wife and I are both freelance graphic artists and use the scanner on a weekly basis. The only improvement I can think of would be a larger scanning bed.

Comments about Epson Epson Perfection V500 Photo, 8.5" x 11.7" Flatbed Scanner, 6400 x 9600 dpi, 48 bit, USB 2.0 for Mac & Windows:

My previous scanner was a Microtek from around '98. It worked well for many years (and still does) but this is a major upgrade! Much faster, quieter. Great images. The light lid works very well too. Scans from negatives seem to be a little grainy, but that may just be the nature of the situation.
