best flat bed I have used
I bought a certified refurbished scanner it works flawlessly I've probably done over 10,000 scans with it. I don't understand the negative reviews say they can't get it to work. I use an iMac using SilverFast 9 scanning software I could not be happier with the results.

Epson on Mac M1 fails
Epson does not seem to support Mac OS. The last review I can find for Epson Scanners was 2 years ago, before M1 and M2 Macs. My Perfection scanner will not connect through a USB Doc or Hub. No direct cable is available to Thunderbolt or USB3.

Epson V850 pro
I am pleased to have such a versatile scanner. I bought it to scan film and it can do all the formats I care about. It can also scan prints.
The film scanning holders are different from the ones I've used before with only one strip for 120 or one frame for 4x5. Not the best for any volume but okay for small jobs. There is also a plastic sheet that attracts dust and...

Epson V850 scanner: A wide-ranging workhorse
The Epson V850/800 is a great machine. I have used my Epson V850 scanner for many years, imaging thousands of 8x10" nitrate photo negatives, 5x7" polyester and nitrate negatives, 4x5 polyester and nitrate negatives, 6x6 and 6x9cm polyester, 35mm slides & negatives, 120 format, 127 format, 110 format, and recently a group of 1000 ~100 year old nitrate and polyester negat...

Fine scanner. Outdated software.
Fine scanner. But the bundled Silverfast (considerably more elegant and full-featured than the Epson Scan option) and the x-rite color calibration software are incompatible with newer Mac operating systems. (Shipped with 2012 versions on CDs!). And Epson refuses to remediate these antiquated parts of your purchase.

Scanning 1940's odd format negatives
For what I am doing, scanning in old 1940's era medium format and odd sized negs, this is the only device available. It works quite well, although loading and scanning is labour intensive and time consuming

Invalid serial number
Trying to install software to a Mac. I entered the serial number for the product, exactly as on the product. It says invalid serial number. There is no 800 number to call. What do I do?

Negative holder
I'm happy with the scans, however I don't like the negative holders for 6x7 format. Most photographers that shot 6x7 film cut the negs in strips of three, The holders that came with the V850 don't work. You have to scan two frames then flip the negative to scan the third frame.

I love this scanner
I owned the V800 scanner for several years and had quite a bit of experience with it. I recently purchased this V850 model of that scanner. It does everything that I could ever want a scanner to do - and it does it FAST. It is much faster that the V800 and I had thought that was the ultimate scanner! I am at this time going through and scanning all of my old negativ...

Epson Perfection V850 Pro Scanner
We purchased the V850 recently as an upgrade for our V750 and F500 Scanners, which were great, but we wanted the latest scanner because of how much film we'll be scanning in the next few years. Epson scanners get the job done at a professional level. Thank you.

Solid scanner
I needed a scanner that would scan 4X5 negatives, as my V600 does not and my beloved old 4990 finally died. This is the one, and it does a good job. The slide and negative holders are a big improvement over those that came with the V600, though the V850 does not scan 35mm as sharply as my Konica Minolta Scan Dual IV. Still, I am very pleased.

Good if not perfect film scanner
I bought the Epson Perfection V850 in 2014 almost exclusively for scanning medium format negatives, but also as a scanner for general use. Overall, it has performed very well. I use it with the supplied Epson software for general use, and find that entirely adequate, but limitations with the bundled SilverFast software led me to use VueScan for negative scanning and the...

Does a nice job.
Bought this a month ago mainly for digitizing slides and camera film strips. Does the job just hope I don't wear it out too soon...I have thousands of things to digitize.
Just wish the scanning bed was a bit bigger....the pages I scan are a bit bigger than the scan area, so I have to leave some blank spaces. I can fix the film scans in Photo Shop.
