Epson V600 Scanner.
2019, Inspiration, Q&A, Scanner - Epson V600, Scanner - Plustek 120, Teaching point
I had someone ask me today how I like the Epson V600 scanner. A few more of you have asked the same question since my last set of images were posted, so I thought I’d resurrect this previous discussion:
https://prosophos.com/2014/02/07/epson-v700-vs-plustek-120/
The same observations for the Epson V700 hold true for the V600, except that:
- The V600 film holder can handle 3 frames of a 6×7 negative, just like the Plustek 120.
- The V600 is smaller than the V700.
- The V600 costs much less than either scanner.
All in all, I am pleased with it and would recommend it to anyone scanning medium format film. For 35mm film, I use the Plustek 8200. Both of these scanners can be purchased for less money than the Epson V800, which is the current equivalent to the now discontinued V700.
The Plustek 120 is also no longer available, but a next generation model is anticipated.

A little story about baseball (exhibition pre-2020 game).
2019, Baseball, Beyond 200 feet of My House™, Favourite, Inspiration, Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR, Nikon D500, Portrait, Q&A, SportsThe days are already much shorter here, so most of the game was played in the dark with the field lights on. I had to crank up the ISO to 8000 (and beyond) but most of the grain you see here was added during post-processing.

Happy 10th Birthday, Leica M9.
Inspiration, Q&A
Yes the M9 was introduced 10 years ago today, on 9/9/9.
It is the last of the great CCD cameras, and in its wake lies a mountain of corroded sensors.
Come on Leica, make another CCD-based M camera.
Dare to be different again.
—Peter.
Cool.
