help Epson Perfection V850 Pro FAQ
Which film sizes can the Epson Perfection V850 Pro scan without cutting the originals?
Its film holders support 35mm strips and slides, medium-format film, and large-format film up to 4 x 5 inches. The flatbed also handles prints and other originals up to roughly 8.5 x 11.7 inches.
Why choose the Epson V850 Pro over a 35mm-only scanner such as the Plustek OpticFilm 8200i?
The V850 is a flatbed with a dual-lens system, so it covers prints, 35mm, medium format, and 4 x 5 film in one workflow. The Plustek OpticFilm 8200i is specialized for 35mm film, which is less useful when larger formats are part of the archive.
Does the Epson V850 Pro remove dust and scratches from film scans?
Yes, its Digital ICE technology can detect and reduce dust and scratch defects on supported film. It is an infrared-assisted correction step, so cleaning the negative before scanning is still important.
What resolution does the Epson V850 Pro use for detailed film scans?
Epson rates the V850 Pro at up to 6400 dpi optical resolution for film. The dual-lens design uses a separate optical path for film and reflective originals.
