100+ year old glass negatives on the V500

I thought I would pass on an interesting use for the V500 - scanning 100+ year old glass negatives. Of course the slide/film carriers would not work on the odd sized glass negatives, so I had to carefully line up the negs so the lid lighting would work.
Bottom line - the V500 did a great job pulling an image off these old, poorly stored, and sometimes damaged glass plate negatives. Each scan required cropping, and image manipulation and clean up - but the resulting digital images were a true glance back into our world 100+ years ago.
Using this for over several years now. Can report this is the best scanner I have ever used. Great features, settings selection and consistent outputs. The included Optical Character Recognition program has been a great asset. I have not used the film or slide scan feature so cannot comment on that feature. Have moved it to Windows 7 system and functions equally as well.
I have had this scanner for a number of years. It is quite professional when it comes to pictures and without a doubt very well priced for its capabilities. Good choice for the Epson name.
I was hesitant to buy a used scanner, but am so glad that I did. It looks new, it works great, I have the same warranty, and best of all......the cost! I couldn't be happier and would highly recommend anyone that was thinking about buying used.
I have scanned hundreds of slides with this scanner and have been happy with the results. Highly recommend this scanner for anyone who has lots of slides and not a lot of money.
Excellent machine, matches up with specifications. Scans both negatives and slides with great results. I have made sixteen by twenty enlargements from 35mm negatives.
I purchased this Scanner, because it’s like the one I use at CS-University. I think it the Greatest, however, this one is a Photo of which I had picture made at a Department Store, of which I love how they used the “Scan Film Trays.” I would love to learn how to use the Trays that came with it. I see where it says insert negatives with the shiny side facing down etc. Is there more information? I see that it say: Visit Epson’s support website at Epson.com/support. I will give that a try. Being a Senior Citizen, and in school ism as easy as it look…LOL!
