I am looking for a Scanner that will scan old Medium format Black and White Negs, colour Slides and Colour 35mm Film. Some time ago a few you kindly informed souls responded to my original post recommending the Epson V500. Despite many searches I cannot get one here in Irl at a reasonable Price, this Scanner is now obsolete and the best I can see is €320 approx incl. the VAT which is pretty hefty…Does anyone know of any alternative that would match my requirements above that might be a little cheaper?. Have lots of B&W Negs of Family from the 1930’s upwards that I would love to get digitised. Or do I need to make this investment in order to get the Scanner that matches my requirements above? All advice appreciated.

Thanks folks,

Brian

Hi Brian, I just today ordered a v600 from elara for 280 incl vat,I had originally looked for the 550 but no one locally had them and they were priced around 250, so it was a surprise to see the 600 for about 70 euro cheaper than advertised elsewhere. They also had the 550 for around 220 I think it was with free delivery or pickup,their in parkwest.
