I've never seen any aux lenses for the 500. I didn't know they existed. That camera wasn't on the market very long. I remember them being blown out for about...
I needed a new scanner for multi-format films and while looking at the new V700 Epson noticed that the 4990 is being discontinued, discounted and comes with a...

The problem I have with all the Epson flatbeds I've tried is the Epson software. It insists on looking for conventional film proportions. If I try to scan...
it's a 4880dpi flatbed, I just laid the film on the glass. I'll make a simple cardboard frame to get it off the glass next, but it already looked workable. ...

I remember that with my old 2450 (hated that scanner!). Vuescan was the work around. The 2990 is setup to scan 8x10" negs on the glass so I just chose that...
I have the 4490, which is fairly similar. An Epson technician told me it's designed/focused to scan transparent materials (negs) above the plane of the...

A word on flatbed scanners: the focal plane for the scanning element is at the surface of the glass and is very shallow, so any attempt to raise the film above...
... I think this may not be true with all scanners. I have it directly from an Epson tech - so it might be true - that their 4490 focuses differently from...
with my old epson scanner I went through the effort to actually find the focal distance by repeatedly scanning and shimming. On the 2450 it was even higher ...
... Actually, measurements with both the Epson 2450 and V700 indicate that the sharpest point is located approximately 1mm above the glass platen. And they...
... I think this is a problem with all film scanners to a greater or lesser extent. My Canon 9900F does it and so does the Fuji SP3000 lab scanner I use at...

... This sounds like a limitation to specifically look for and avoid when buying a scanner if you expect to want/need to scan film outside the common...
I use Vue-Scan for film/scanner combinations that it seems to better at than other software (mainly silver based b&w), but not all the time (Nikon does better ...

I apologize here as my scanners are not the Epson models you're talking about. My flatbed is an old Canoscan that has been modified from reflective to...

ok, I must be dense or something, but I always have to do a preview scan to have something to select from (even if it is essentially a black image)... and even...
