V700 35mm samples?

[Swift1]

I am thinking of upgrading my V500 to a V700.
I was wondering if anyone here with a V700 would be willing to share a 2400 dpi or 3200 dpi scan of a 35mm frame, scanned in Epson Scan with USM unchecked. Preferably, it would be a Kodak Ektar or Gold 100.

Thanks in advance,

Colton

This is not what you asked for, but hopefully it may be to some help even though!

Fuji Superia 100 from 1994. Probably some mediocre point and shoot camera. Epson V750 with standard holders, at 6400ppi. Epson scan all manual settings. No USM. Adobe RGB 1998. Curves, WB and edge sharpen in Aperture 3.

Thanks guys.
Does anyone have an original file that I could download for comparison purposes?
I wouldn't do anything with it and would delete it when I'm done.

If you shoot negative film, you may wish to check out the Pakon thread that has been active. These are former mini-lab scanners that scan 35mm negative only (B&W and color) and can scan a whole roll very quickly. Max resolution is 3000 pixels on the long side, which is enough for most purposes. Quality right out of the scanner is amazing.

Hello,

I posted some reviews and comparisons of my own film scanners time ago, including the epson V700.

Short summary:

First, this is the 35mm frame I used as the "target" (whole frame)

Now the comparison between the Epson V700, the Minolta ScanElite 5400 and the Nikon SuperCoolscan 8000ED.

Please note that on the V700, I used a special holder by Betterscanning, which has finely-adjustable height and makes a sizeable difference in sharpness (better focus adjustment).

All scanners at their maximum resolution (6400 for the Epson, 5400 for the Minolta, 4000 for the Nikon).
No sharpening.

100% crops from a (more-or-less) central zone of the frame:

For more details, please search for my original post: there was a lot to say and various technical comments, including scans of special resolution charts.

To summarize: the V700 is a nice scanner for the money, but has an hard time with 35mm if you need big prints.
Its strength relies on the multi-format capability: can give the goods with 35mm, 120, 4x5"!

The same comparison (from left to right V700-Min5400-Nik8000), at 3200 ppi (no sharpening):

the V700 is excellent with 6x6 but in my experience not so good with 35mm film.
