Sorry to hear your scanner is giving you fits.
Glad to hear Adorama still has this on sale for ya. If you get one, I
think you'll enjoy it.
I should note my "black and white" comment is (so far) specific to C41
b&w. I do not currently have any images on normal b&w film.
All of mine are TRI-X - well, we will see. A good clean scan of an 8
x 10 print works too..
But I'm most intereseted in improving the scans of some slides I have in
PKR 64.
The abandoned/wrecked car? I don't know what model/year it is. I think
someone here said they thought it was a 59 Ford though?
I was thinking it had to be from the 50's
Good luck!

Thanks! within a few days I might be able to show you all something -
but that car shot certainly was nicely done so
I"m hopeful.

Oh wow.
By different I didn't mean hard. I just meant you have to go at it a
little differently than you do for digital camera images. Because I
think that's where most folks have their problems. They expect
scanning film to be just like a digital camera, and it isn't.
It can be very very easy though. The V500 is an exceptional scanner
(especially for the price), and I'm finding it very easy to use. Black
and white particularly so.
Don't let what anyone else has to say about it stop you.
If you have a problem, ask; someone here is sure to know the solution.

Nick - from my mouth to God's ears, apparently... I mentioned I'd have to
think about that scanner when my 1640 went south...
and my 1640 is heading rapidly in that direction now.... (litle green
lines - and Ive had some scratches for a while
I got a little money for my birthday early... and so I trotted over to
Adorama - the NY store is an easy walk from my apt -
and looked at the beast -- for $112 (!) ) they are getting more in
tomorrow, sales guy said... and I expect I'll pick one up in a day or two..
so then.... if I DO have a problem, you'll be the first to know hehe..
I'm used to scanning film and prints... I expect it not to be a battle - I
presume it will work fine on Windoze XP and will not
insist I upgrade my Adobe Elements 5.0 to 7 .
very glad to hear you say "black and white particularly so" too.
I have 40 years of shooting film and only 6 of digital - really want to get
into my archives and dig.
Did you ever tell us what that car was , btw?

Scanning film is a good deal different than digital photography.
I got an Epson V500 back when I started working my way back to
photography -- about a year ago. At the time I didn't want to hear about
digital, and have lots of slides and film of my own, and some from a
deceased brother, that I envisioned myself sorting through, prioritizing,
and then scanning.
Everything I've read about the process since getting the scanner has been
so intimidating that I haven't ventured beyond scanning a few family photos
-- 15 or so -- just to make them available to other family members. This
thread has been somewhat intimidating, too.
Nevertheless, I do want to get to my brother's stuff. It's all film,
there's not that much of it, and most of it's black and white.
