Yes I have one, yes it works on WIn10 and yes it is good for negatives and prints - though IMO it is much better on MF than on 35mm

Tried it yesterday not very impressed with it doesn't scan negs very good they seam to be very soft. I have silverfast 9 on trial just getting used to it it will take a little time. Will see if it is better in a weeks time.

I’ve not had softness issues using either the Epsom s/w or Silverfast, does it scan images ok or are these and the negatives soft?

A couple of images scanned negitives they look okish until you zoom in on them

35mm or medium format- and at what resolution are you scanning?

This was scanned from 35mm negative on Epson V600 - Original Image taken on Canon EOS1000F+Kit Zoom so nothing special - Film Kodak Gold

That is good. A couple more scanned at 600dpi this time they don't look very good they are in focus but not when iv'e scanned them

If the original negatives are in focus but when you scan they are out of focus, then the height of the negative realtive to the scanner bed needs adjusting, are the negatives flat?

You say you scanned at 600dpi
I’m not experienced with film scanning but this, surely, will result in a very low resolution image?

I’d have thought you want at least 2400dpi but, as I say, I’m not familiar with film scanning

I have scanned at 3200 and at 6400 still the same problem and have now sending it back not pleased with it at all.
Thank you for your time to reply.
