Review: High-end consumer/entry-level professional scanner - BLUF: This scanner is versatile, easy to install and use, and capable of handling most scanning needs. Stand out features are the ability to scan slides and negatives, thick books, both letter-sized and A4 documents at very high resolution. Scanning is smooth and reasonably fast. The latest Epson scanning software is available as a free download and in professional mode, it gives a substantial degree of control over all aspects of the scan. Scan output is excellent quality. MORE DETAILS... SLIDES & NEGATIVES: The first thing you notice is how thick the lid is. That's because it's designed to allow scanning of slides and negatives (requiring a light source inside the lid). Some scanners advertise the ability to scan slides & negatives, but only have a narrow opening in the lid that can scan one short strip of 35mm negatives or 4 slides at a time. This can scan 12 slides at a time. It also is designed to handle 35mm and two different medium-format negatives. If you skip using the holders, you can also scan large-format negatives, but you'll need something to hold them flat (I used a piece of plate glass). THICK BOOKS: The next thing you'll probably notice about the lid is that its hinge can be raised a couple inches. In fact, you even lift it off entirely without disabling the scanner. this means that a large book can be placed on the scanner bed easily, without a permanently attached lid getting in the way. DURABILITY: This is a well-built piece of equipment. I first used one at work, and never had any problems with it. I wound up buying one of my own when I started scanning old medium-format negatives. I've had this scanner now for about a decade and it continues to work flawlessly. PORTABILTY: This is for desktop use. It's large and heavy enough that you won't want to lug it around. You could, but it would be kind of a pain. SETUP: Easy plug and play for the most part, using a USB connection. You will want to download the latest Epson scanning software (free download) to get the most out of it. I got lucky: because I'd already been using Epson scanning software, it immediately recognized the scanner and I have the option to select between two scanner types (I use the other scanner when I travel; it's less capable, but much smaller & lighter).
Review: great for high quality scans of old photographs. - This is a great scanner. I bought it to scan a lot of old family photgraphs. It does high resolution, and both color and black and white have turned out very well. It is heavy and large, so needs a big spot on a table or desk. I think it's overkill if you're just looking to scan documents. The lid is heavy and and I've not left it open on its own - I have cats who are extremely helpful and don't want to risk it being slammed down. There is no autofeed, so it's slow, but the quality is outstanding. The dust removal works well. It also scans negatives and slides, but I've not gotten to trying that yet. I do have a good amount of old 4x5 negatives to investigate and few boxes of old slides, and will update once I test those features. I have a Mac and it works perfectly with that, and it was made to work with PCs, but can't comment on that.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Anybody own the V600 and this one and can offer an opinion on the difference?  I can read the specs, interested in your direct experience.**
A: The V850 is much better.  The film/slide holders are better.  We had a problem scanning textured photos with the V600, but not with the V850.  The scans of film and slides are better.  Glad that we updated.

**Q: How do you use the fluid mount tray?. Does the film get wet?. Can you use it without the fluid ?. Thank you**
A: I would Google/YouTube "Wet Scanning" to get more details. But, to answer your question, yes the film will get wet. You put special fluid in the tray and then put your negative in it.  At a basic level, wet scanning will help at filling in scratches, reduce/eliminate light scattering and refraction, hold the image flat to the glass, and a variety of other benefits that can help improve the image quality for scanning. It adds quite a few steps (and time) to your workflow process. Unless you were working on a special project (books, etc.), going to make large prints, I wouldn't wet scan.

**Q: So load a slide tray and the software will cut them out and save each one in a seperate file? Can you load on several photos and auto cut into files?**
A: You can, yes.   The software (Silverlight) lets you do batch scanning where you set the multiple scan areas and then hit batch and it scans them in order.  You must set the scan area for the tray as well (Not automatic), but it works without the trays as well.

**Q: how does this compare to the Plustek for 35mm scans?**
A: I agree with B. Menke on this. While I do not have a Plustek, I do use a primefilm xas (and before a primefilm xa) for 35mm film scanning, A dedicated 35mm film scanner of decent quality will give better scans than a flatbed can. However, the Epson V850 is more versatile and I use it for medium and large format film. The Epson is the way to go if you don't exclusively shoot 35mm film and cannot afford to get two scanners.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Top Notch - Impressive Results and Fast
*by A***. on October 13, 2025*

Literally, I'm very much impressed with this scanner. I've been a photographer since 1983 and have taken many 35mm images of professional bands. Looking at original prints from photo labs by which I had brought the negatives to (back in the day) which had poor color calibration and sloppy edits, these scanner puts you in control. With the included software by SilverFast, you can choose the film used such as Kodak Plus ISO 200 (just look at your film strip to ID the film type). The built in template auto calibrates and images turn out accurately. There are other options such as dust removal. The negatives scan fast even at 48bit 2400DPI. It's convenient to have 2 film trays as once is scanning you can load the other. Each tray can hold up 3 strips of film. I am glad to have gotten rid of an older outdated CanoScan 4400 which could take hours and was unable to produce accurate reproductions. Only word of caution is the assembly in connecting the top lid cover with the bottom platen glass section. There's a small cable built in to the top of the scanner which has about 9 pins. There's no marker letting you know which side is up or down on the cable itself. Just be sure to align correctly before inserting so that the pins don't get bent. Use a flashlight if necessary to get a closer look. Overall a great buy. Windows 10 and 11 drivers are on the Epson website. Don't both with the Epson CD unless you have the older Windows 8 or Windows 7.
