Sequence captured during 30 minutes from our deck, a new house. Hope to have many more in the days to come.
I have an "old" Epson V500, V600 is the update, within your price range. I find the most flexible inversion from negative to positive for print is the Adobe plug-in Negative Scan Pro and not any of the bundled conversion software. I had posted these images before but repeat here FYI:
Epson V500 scanner, 48-bit, 4800dpi, positive film, no ICC profile, TIFF. Inverted using Adobe plugin Negative Scan Pro, edited in Photoshop (multiple despeckle) and Nik (RAW sharpener), Lightroom (output sharpener).
The post processing is essential for prints. Have fun.

I like #2. 1 looks somehow out of focus, or no detail, or something that makes it almost an abstract. You could use it for that purpose with just a little bit of PP. 2 on the other hand looks like I am really there.

Thanks for your comments.

I've noticed that with dark shots much depends on the size of the image that you're viewing. #2 will look good at any size but #1 will benefit from being printed large. Make it too small and it'll be too dark. You probably wanted it dark for the sake of the atmosphere that comes with the darkness, but if you make it too small you'll lose that atmosphere.
Yes should open-up I a bit, thanks.
Thanks for all your comments.
Would appreciate any comments. Thanks in advance.

All good. Like the 1st 2 best.
Scanning film isn't so easy is it.
It has taken a number of years and attempts without out spending $$$, only time. Glad you like these images, thanks. Should have used Kodak Pro-Ektar instead of KODAKCOLOR. I am scanning some Pro-Ektar images from S America, the results are much better, I think.
