The V750-M Pro has a rather unusual capability-a special holder to accommodate a fluid mounting technique that is well established in pro drum scanning. The printing performance from these high-resolution files is as impressive as the files are large. Even if relatively expensive I am sure many photographers with a library of 120 film would purchase extra cost holders for these specific frame sizes.Įpson's new Perfection V750-M Pro with SilverFast Ai 6 can scan 12 35mm slides in one batch at a phenomenal 6400dpi.
Epson, I think, would be well advised to offer optional 120 holders for each of the standard medium format frame sizes from 6x4.5 through 6x9cm. The latter is of course a compromise, with its shortcoming being poor support for 120 film cut in individual frames. The new film holders include one for 35mm slide, 35mm filmstrips, 4x5 sheet film, and a 120 medium format holder that holds two strips of film. Physically, film scanning is supported with new film holder designs with pins that assure precise alignment to the scan area, as well as tab adjustments to raise the film holder focus plane to accommodate bowed and droopy film. The dual lens design, which provides the higher 6400dpi optical resolution, does so with a larger diameter lens and higher f/stop for a better modulation transfer function, backed up by a high-pass filter and a coated CCD lens with a more efficient mirror in the scan-head assembly.įrom one of two dozen different slides scanned with both the Epson Perfection V750-M Pro (on left) and the Konica Minolta DiMAGE Scan Elite 5400 II dedicated 35mm scanner (on right), outputting to the same 16x24" by 300dpi file size, the definition and sharpness of detail, as well as density range and color were virtually identical and definitely competitive in quality.Īll Photos © 2006, David B.

A full range of clean, noise-free information is read and recorded at the scanners' 48-bit color depth and 4.0 dynamic range, producing much better shadow information in positive transparency scans, and virtually eliminating highlight blocking in scans of silver-based black and white negatives. Excepting larger than 4x5 sheet film sizes, film scanning is accommodated by a dual lens design that supports a spectacular 6400dpi optical resolution. The units support film scanning across most of the scan area, allowing scans of film sizes as large as 8x10", and also as many as 12 35mm slides in mounts, and even more 35mm negatives in strips. They have a slightly concave-sided TPU lid housing the film scanning illuminator that provides more efficient physical handling when making scans.īut it's what's inside that counts. Epson has foregone styling for a utilitarian shape and configuration with a box-like, straight-sided exterior. By making this device easy to use, robustly built, and affordable while guaranteeing sharp results, we’re confident we’ve done just that.These new scanners represent a design break from recent Perfection scanners. “We aimed to introduce a tool that photographers would love using as much as their medium format film cameras.
Negative Supply says the film holder keeps the film “perfectly flat with our unique magnetic hinged clamping design”, and allows users to scan a full-length roll of film in as little as 60 seconds. As noted above, it features a carbon fiber composite housing with a tolex-wrapped exterior, similar to those of the Basic Film Carrier 35 and 4×5 Light Source Basic, but also features a magnetic hinge mechanism inspired by its more expensive counterpart. The Basic Film Carrier 120 is a simplified version of their standard Film Carrier 120. The Basic Film Carrier 120, like its more expensive but differently manufactured cousin, can be used for scanning already cut strips or full rolls of 120/220 film quickly, easily, and affordably - the biggest difference between the two is the materials used: carbon fiber composite housing with a tolex-wrapped exterior for the “Basic” vs machined aluminum for the standard version. This new offering, along with the rest of the Basic line, still focuses on the quality aspect of the firm’s earlier products but aims for a lower price point to encourage those not quite ready to jump in with their pro kit to give it a try.
