 Fog on the inside August 27, 2007
Richard W. Dillon
Shortly after purchasing the unit, I discovered something that looks like fog on the inside of the glass on the top fourth or so. Fortunately, it doesn't seem to affect image quality. br / br /I checked again tonight for this review and I don't see any (this is a first) so it must be related to the weather. It was there yesterday.
 Still a great scanner November 17, 2004

Why am I writing a review for a scanner that has been out of production for 2 years? Because it's so darn good! I've had mine since January 2002 and it has performed without a hitch. I have upgraded to Mac OSX since I bought this and was really disappointed Epson did not make a driver for it. Luckliy I discovered Ed Hamrick's superb "VUESCAN" software. Get it at hamrick.com. On OSX or Windows it simply blows away any Twain driver or Epson driver. It rivals silverfast AI. The best thing about this scanner is the firewire interface. It's rocket fast for print scans. Why have scanner makers not migrated to this far superior interface? br / br /You can scan film too, but be warned that 35mm is a bit soft. I've had some luck by scanning directly on the glass without a neg holder. 120 and 4x5 film look beautiful on this scanner. It has a great dynamic range-with the right software. br / br /Pick one up used if you need the Firewire speed. You won't be disappointed.
