EPSON V600 or V700 or .... ?

Raid,
While deciding on possible film holder upgrade, maybe consider going to a local framing shop and having some anti-reflective glass cut to fit the Epson holders. Very inexpensive. That will help some with keeping the film flat.

Thanks for the tip, Gary. Do I need two layers for sandwiching the negatives?

Not if you use the original holders. Two layers degrades (I think) the image. Also, too many surfaces for dust to collect. Also, you can try putting the negs directly on the scanner glass with the AR glass on top.

Anyone heard of this scanner? The Wolverine F2D8 8 MP 35mm Slides and Negatives to Digital Image Converter.http://www.amazon.com/Wolverine-F2D8...I2U8PUYP8LDJ9V

I have the Epson 600 with the Better Scanning glass and I am very happy with them. I do not use the Epson frames, I just lay the negatives on the glass and cover them with the Better Scanning glass.

You have to use the "professional" mode and must put all the options off. The software to adapt the histogram is wonderful. There is a densitometer that is very useful.

When the scan is made, the picture should be finished in Photoshop. A little sharpening is enough to sharpen the grain of the film.
