Default Film scanners?

I realise that this question doesn't have a simple answer, but
it is time I started scanning some of my old 35 mm slides and
negatives (mostly b&w).


I would really welcome some comments or experience on hardware
in the "keen amateur" price bracket.

Hey, that's my bracket as well!


I use the Epson Perfection V750 Pro (now replaced with the 850
Pro) which comes with inserts for 135 and 120 film as well as
large format and slides.


Image quality is superb.

I have used an Epson V700 for years. This is basically the same as a
V750 but with a few less bells and whistles. I have scanned hundreds
(thousands?) of old films and slides and found it has done a better
than excellent job. It came with extensive software which enables
major corrections to be made at the scanning level. Highly
recommended.


Yeah, outside of specialised lab scanners, I think these are the best in the
class really.
