Expert review by (tipa.com)
The Photo Scanner category has not been included in the TIPA Awards selections for many years, but the introduction of the Epson Perfection V850 Pro inspired members to bring it back. The V850 Pro allows for scanning of all film sizes up to 4x5 inches...
Expert review by : M. David Stone (pcmag.com)
The Epson Perfection V850 Pro photo scanner offers professional-quality scanning for photographic prints and for film (positive or negative) at up to 8 by 10 inches.
Expert review by (digitalcameraworld.com)
Professional quality flatbed film scanning for any home lab, although at a professional price that is hard to justify
Consumer review (argos.co.uk)
It is really disappointing to find the medium format and large format holders of wrong dimension for such an expensive scanner. I would expect replacement for the film holders.
Consumer review (argos.co.uk)
I was expecting a lot from this professional scanner, its scans 35mm film well up to 14MP (equivalent) and reproduces paper scans exceptionally well. However, it's Achilles heel is 120 roll film. None of the 120 film brands stay flat in the holder...
Consumer review (newegg.com)
I first checked this scanner out at the PDN Expo in NYC last fall. The Epson rep told me it would only do batch scanning with Epson Scan, not with Silverfast. Because of that, I delayed the purchase. I was already using Silverfast Ai Studio with a...

Consumer review (epson.com)
" Together w/SilverFast software, it does a great job scanning 4x5 and 220 film. "
Consumer review (epson.com)
" This is an excellent scanner, and I'd recommend it to anyone. Does an excellent job of positives, negatives, and slides. The downside is Silverfast; I've never been able to get it to work. However, the Epson scanning software works well enough that...
Consumer review (epson.com)
" Just received scanner. I prefer using SilverFast for my scanning and retouching. Epson scanner has conflicts with SilverFast. I've searched everywhere on internet. Found possible solution from SilverFast support but I'm having to jump through hoops...
