Photo Forum / Film Photography / Medium format / July 2003MF Scanner redux- epson 3200 - bah!
Got an epson 3200 to scan MF 6x6 from my mamiya 6. In a word - yech! Guess I have been spoiled by my LS-4000 for 35mm work. The fiddly details I obsess about in my work are simply blurred. After 24h hours of testing, the 3200 is being offered on ebay.. So - on to a dedicated film scanner. My internet research seems to indicate the latest Minolta Multipro is just *slightly* favored over the LS-8000. And both seem favored over the Polaroid 120 sprintscan. Is this still the general consensus? Anyone know where I can get a re-conditioned Minolta multipro scanner? thanks Eric faneuil schrieb: > Got an epson 3200 to scan MF 6x6 from my mamiya 6. > In a word - yech!

Maybe it's a bad one? I heard good opinions about the 3200 with 6x6.  SignatureLaurent Wirmer Homepage: http://www.photo-square.com This posting is a natural product. The slight variations in spelling and grammar enhance its individual character and beauty and in no way are to be considered flaws or defects. I scanned some slides with both the LS-4000 (set to 3200 DPI) and the epson 3200. The fine details like fly-away hairs in head shots and tips of branches in outdoor shots are razor sharp on the LS-4000 and slightly soft when scanned with the epson 3200. Very acceptable, but not good enough for very large prints (20x20 and up). The scanner is fantastic (esp. given the price) for all other work. on ebay at http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2942823674&category=15223&rd=1 eric > faneuil schrieb: > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Maybe it's a bad one?

Okay, let's pin this down. I was disappointed at first to find that my 3200 doesn't track _perfectly_ at highest resolution - BUT my gosh, that's asking an awful lot of a flatbed scanner. Also, like any other 'long exposure' you have to be sure do not disturb the scanner during a long scan. Vibration is your enemy. >Got an epson 3200 to scan MF 6x6 from my mamiya 6. >In a word - yech!

Do you have to auction it on ebay? Doesn't the store you bought it from have a "returns" policy? yes - but there is re-stocking fee. > >Got an epson 3200 to scan MF 6x6 from my mamiya 6. > >In a word - yech!

[quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > yes - but there is re-stocking fee. you don't think a 15 or 20 percent restock fee is better than auctioning a used scanner on ebay? ah, I get it, this was just a way to mention that you have AN ITEM ON EBAY, BUY NOW BUY NOW BUY NOW, BID BID BID.... without actually spamming Nope - no hype. If you noticed I started by saying I was unhappy with the scanner. > > > > >Got an epson 3200 to scan MF 6x6 from my mamiya 6. > > > >In a word - yech!
