Very helpful information from all of you! Thanks so much!! During this period of forced isolation, I am looking forward to scanning about 1500 slides. I will be contacting B&H about an Epson scanner!
Thanks for those thoughts!
That is very good to know. Thanks!
Many thanks to both of you!
I live in the American South where the humidity is incredibly high in the summer. With air conditioning, I can maintain the indoor humidity at 55-60% but to be on the safe side I recently purchased a Ruggard cabinet which keeps the humidity at a steady 40%. My question is: Is it OK to store cameras and lens in the cabinet in their leather cases? Their ballistic nylon cases? Or is it better to take the equipment out of their cases? Finally, would it be a good idea to store film in the Ruggard cabinet? Many thanks for everyone’s thoughts!
Thanks for that information. Do you think the V850 results would be significantly better?
Thanks for sharing this story! Excellent news that the v600 has such high resolution.
This is very helpful information. I have been thinking of getting the Epson v850 on the theory that a higher number and more dollars equals better. Are you suggesting that the v600 is all I really need? Scanning slides and negatives sounds like a pretty good way to pass the time during the lockdown!
Thanks for all the great information from my fellow members! Your thoughts are extremely helpful and will simplify my decision.
I am about to buy my first Leica lens, a 50mm SUMMICRON-M f.2.0. I have the choice of a “mint” 20-year-old lens or a brand new lens. The price differential is about 25% with the new lens being more expensive. My question is whether the fancy glass in the new lens trumps the higher build quality of the old lens. Which lens would my fellow photographers choose as the better lens for an M6?
Very valuable information from all the latest participants in this dialogue! Many thanks for your input.
Thanks very much! I will check Amazon and B&H sites for plastic containers.
