Mario*herrera edited this topic ages ago. :-) I think a flat-bed scanner will do the job for you.īTW: I paid like $120 for my V600 at Fry's Electronics, it was an opened box :-) I have on my wall a framed 20x30 image from a 645 negative scanned with the V600, the detail and texture is very nice, as good or better than my digital stuff.


I found the quality of a flat-bed more than acceptable for my level of photography, I print 11x14's, lots of 4圆 and many 5x7's all with very nice quality directly from V600 scans residing in Adobe Lightroom and iPhoto. You can check my photo stream, all my film stuff was scanned with the Epson V600. I'm not familiar with the canoscan 9000f, but I've red good things about it. I agree, if you do your own scanning, you will achieve more quality from every frame. i paid i think 120 or so for mine brand new. just scan 3/4 of the negative in the 120 holder, then scan the other side, then merge in PS makes a good overall 4 by 5 scanner if your on a budget. i can scan 35mm 120 film and I can even do 4 by 5 film with it. I have the cannon 9000F i am sure i dont know quite what i am doing with scans but i like it. any input on these two scanners would be much appreciated.

Is it worth buying a film scanner? i'm looking for something that is fast, makes good quality for the web (and has at least decent quality for 4圆/8x10 prints), and has vibrant colors and doesn't dull any out. I'm looking for a film scanner because every drug store/professional lab really only does a decent job when scanning to CD's, and my current print scanner is awful. i've read negative and positive reviews on both, and those are the only 2 options i can seem to find in my price range (200 dollars max). Two scanners i'm looking at which i can afford are the epson v600 and the canoscan 9000f.
