Comments about Epson Perfection V750-M Pro Scanner:

I have some 8 X 10 black and white negatives that I needed to scan. I eliminated newton rings by using an anti-newton ring glass. Perfect scans!!!!.

Comments about Epson Perfection V750-M Pro Scanner:

Works well - Allows you to retrieve your past photos with good quality - you may modify them easily on your computer if necessary. Time factor - takes about 20 minutes to download 24 quality images - but you can do something else and come back to the finished product.

Currently only using for negatives, but certain that slides or photos will be good too.

I had trouble at first installing the software and not having the scanner being recognized. But, it turns out it was my fault. I did not switch off the "lock" switch at the back of the scanner. When I did that the scanner worked fine. I immediatley scanned some 8 X 10 black and white negatvies and got very good results. Thus, my rough start was my fault not the scanner. It is a very good scanner and am pleased that I bought it.

I sold a slightly superior Nikon Coolscan 9000, and bought this v750 instead. Though I will never be able to make real prints from scans made with the v750, it works perfectly for web images, and even for notebook prints. The color rendition, in my opinion, is much better than the Coolscan, which I had to baby to get consistent color, even across frames from the same roll.
Real prints from film are now being done the right way, at the lab, instead of coaxing Imacron-quality scans from inferior equipment. I now have an easy solution for film visibility, assigning the real prints to the lab, and thus seeing the best from my images.
Gold star.
(one issue: you may have to buy Silverfast 8 separately....!)

The equipment was well packaged - start up instructions were good. Software installation was a bit confusing since the versions included with the unit were not always the current version. Operating instructions are all on-line, which can be a bit confusing as well, however once you figure it out, operation is smooth. The Epson scan software is OK for standard scans, the Silverfast software is more comprehensive, allowing more control. Overall, a very flexible scanning solution for those with multiple formats of film and slides.

3 stars because of no step by step manual to help with problem solving. Have a perfection V500 but it does not do as many formats on film scanning much easier to use tho Like but did not come with a step by step guide to get me started. had to experiment and look up on internet if I had a question and that is not an easy task needs to have a step by step guide and what each setting does as well as marking the film guides for size and orientation to make it easier to get good results from the beginning would be helpful if more sizes of film guides were available as I have negatives and photos dating back to 1850 and all formats I'm trying to digitalize and pass on photos to all sides of the family

Comments about Epson Perfection V750-M Pro Scanner:

I purchased this scanner several years ago, but did not set it up. (My health issues). Later I changed the operating system on my computer. I wondered if the time it had spent sitting in the box and changing operating system would cause me difficulties, but when I 'got a round to it', I opened the box, set the scanner up according to the directions, went on line, downloaded the 'updates and software' turned it on and have been happily scanning ever since. I should note that downloading everything I needed was so simple even I could do it (I guess you could say I am almost computer illiterate.) I have now scanned negatives in size from 5"X7" (that my dad had saved from WW2), my own 4"X5", some that I have no idea what size they are, 6X7, 35mm, 110 color and b&w, and even a couple of Kodak's photo disks. I have scanned photos where no negative was available. I am very pleased with the results. In general I am not scanning to make "art" to hang on the wall, but more to have an album of proofs, that I can quickly look through to select what is worth printing. I did scan three of my favorite 6X7 negatives, and make into 16X20 prints. I think the scanned prints are as good if not better than the original prints I made in the '70s. The software does have some problems. The one thing I have seen most often is the dust/scratch removal. It is noticeable most often on/around the eyes, where the eye is seen as "dust" and is removed. Makes a funny looking face, but the negative is easy to rescan, and then run through a "photo shop" program when a print is wanted or needed. When scanning 127 film in the 35mm film holder, the software does not recognize the individual images, but selects 35mm size negatives. This is easy to work around by individually sizing the images. Similar to the process used when scanning other odd size negatives on the glass tray for wet scanning. Not really a problem, more like another step. The scanner is well made, and feels sturdy. The hinged lid operates very smoothly. The negative holders have a plastic "feel", but they are plastic, so what do you expect. They snap closed firmly and hold the negatives securely. They do feel like they will give many years of service. The negative holders fit into the negative holder guides a little loosely for my taste, but if they fit tighter, you would have more problems getting them into the guides, so I guess you should say I am Happy. Any thing else to say? This scanner has so many other things it can do, that I have not tried and will "get around to' eventually I do not have the time to mention them all. Since I haven't tried them I will rely on what I have seen and say that this scanner will do more than I ever will do. Would I recommend this scanner? Absolutely! It is some of the best money I have ever spent.

I'm a professional portrait photographer. I use this scanner to create high quality 8 x 10 scans for large printing up to 30 x 40. The result is much better than you can get with a high pixel camera.

Comments about Epson Perfection V750-M Pro Scanner:

I bought the V750 Pro with the expectation that it would be just as good or better than the Epson V500. I was disapointed! The V750 Pro scans are not sharp like the V500. I thought it was a defective unit so I called Epson and they exchanged it for a new unit. The replacement was slightly better but still reproduces blury images on all formats. Epson really let me down on the V750 Pro. I scan large amounts of slides negatives and photos and was hoping the V750 Pro would make me more productive, I was wrong, come on Epson, whats the deal? Also the included software SilverFast and Adobe are complety useless, it makes the image even worse...

Comments about Epson Perfection V750-M Pro Scanner:

The first scanner I have owned that is built to support wet scanning. Also faster than the one it replaces and worked easily with SilverFast 8.

Comments about Epson Perfection V750-M Pro Scanner:

I have used this professional scanner to scan and restore old yellowed photos of family history as well as 4x5 sheet negative film and positive film. Following digitizing the negatives prints were made up to 40"x50" without any weak points on an Epson 9800 printer.

Comments about Epson Perfection V750-M Pro Scanner:

I thoroughly enjoy this scanner as it handles all of my picture conversions. The epson scan software makes scans a breeze, and the SilverFast software performs fantastic once you spend some time learning how it operates. Use the videos to get up to speed fast. The only downside was the annoying film that was on the inside of the glass. Rather than return it, I chose to dissassemble and clean it myself. At such a high cost, I would expect a very clean optical scanning area.

Comments about Epson Perfection V750-M Pro Scanner:

I use this scanner in my dental office to scan the older chemical cured xrays into my digital system. The results are often stunning with the scanned image more readable than the original. I have also scanned in old color slides and get excellent results. The only criticism I have for this scanner is the transparency size is about a couple inches smaller in length than the reflective. The area guide will keep you in the right area for scanning but your image size is reduced.

Comments about Epson Perfection V750-M Pro Scanner:

Excellent scanner for Pro or semi-pro work. Hi-res scanning of any medium at quick speeds. I use it for publication-grade work, and it does wonderfully. Small scanning bed, however. And Silverfast scanning software that comes with it constantly expects costly upgrades.

Comments about Epson Perfection V750-M Pro Scanner:

I used this scanner very lightly over a two year period, maybe 50 scans. After a extended period of non use, I needed to scan some transparencies. When I turned on the scanner and scanned a transparency, all I got was a white scan with some colored lines. Turns out, the motherboard is bad. I had exactly the same thing happen with a Perfection 4990. Epson cannot repair it for me and I was advised to buy a refurbished scanner from Epson. Obviously there is a problem with the Epson scanners in the motherboard and Epson is not willing to admit it. Why can't Epson offer affordable repairs like Nikon does with it's scanners?? I cannot review the performance of this scanner because I hardly ever got any use out of it and I will not spend any more money on Epson scanners again.

Comments about Epson Perfection V750-M Pro Scanner:

i know the scanner is a good one because I read the reviews but the software seems too complex to use. I can not make the scanner work all time. It's output is not consistant. it's not a pug and play maachine.

Comments about Epson Perfection V750-M Pro Scanner:

This is the scanner for every Photographer to use, with the bundled software you are able to enlarge your negatives/slides to a larger size with no loss of detail in the finished print as well as adjust them before scanning. scans negs/slides from 35mm to 8x10. Cons: poor instructions, no software to copy letters to printer/word/page files. I would recommend this to all Photographers for scanning negs/slides and photographs

Comments about Epson Perfection V750-M Pro Scanner:

When building an archive of imagery for a museum exhibition featuring a cultural community, you interview individuals and often borrow their personal collection of photos and documents to scan. This means that you may have one and only one opportunity to capture a best-quality digital version of a unique historical resource. This scanner has stood up to the test, and even with the most difficult media (such as color negatives), the sensitivity of the refinements available guarantee a great outcome. I am extremely pleased with this Epson scannerâ€"it is the latest in an unbroken line of Epson scanners that I have purchased to accomplish this work (it works in tandem with a best-quality Epson photo printer that enables me to return great prints to the families that have generously shared their histories).

Comments about Epson Perfection V750-M Pro Scanner:

I purchased this scanner for work, but also planned to use it for my own personal photos and slides. I've scanned in photos, 35mm negatives, color and black and white slides, and very old black and white positives (not really sure what they are called). The scanner has been amazing at being able to scan in everything I've thrown its way with superior quality. The software is fairly easy to use. I ended up purchasing a second scanner (same model) for someone else because I was so impressed with it.

Comments about Epson Perfection V750-M Pro Scanner:

After scanning over 2000 slides , negatives and prints I think the scans are great and the Epson Scan software is real good, but I wish the scanner cover and the plastic slide & negative holders were built better. Both are very fragile and look like and feel like they can break at any time.
