![]() ![]() I really don't know how many adaptors can be daisy-chained, or what the weakest link in that chain would be. ![]() I do have one, but it is for Thunderbolt 2, and my present iMac has Thunderbolt 3, so I may need yet another adapter(?) I have not investigated that. And now, I would need a Firewire 800-to-Thunderbolt adaptor. Then Apple switched to Firewire 800, so I added another adaptor for FW400-to-FW800. When Apple dropped SCSI support, I bought a RATOX FR1SX SCSI-to-Firewire adapter that worked with Firewire 400. The Minolta Dimage Scan Elite F-2900 came with an Ultra SCSI interface which wotked with the old G4 Mac I was using in 2002. The toughest thing for me right now is getting a good file from a fiber print - I can't make them flat enough to photograph them.Īny advice from others with similar usage?Ĭlick to expand.Interesting question. I occasionally get prints made from scans, but only from color film which I don't shoot that often. My main uses for scans are to post things on Instagram and to submit images for juried shows. I shoot more 120 and 4x5 than 35mm, but could need to scan pretty much any size. Should I bite the bullet and buy a V850? Should I use my dSLR on my portatrace light panel for web use and send good ones out for drum scans? How many images would it take for drum scanning to cost as much as buying the 850? Yes, I know drum scanning is far better, but I don't usually get huge prints made anyway. I might be able to scan from within Elements or Photos, but I haven't tried. At the age of the scanner, I don't want to buy software to make it work well. After the update, EpsonScan cannot be made to work. I can't imagine it will last too much longer - in technology terms, it's ancient. I bought it in 2004 and it's scanned at least 50,000 files (mostly photography-related, but not exclusively). The problem with this is that I have an Epson Perfection 4870 Photo. I may update to the latest soon as well (mostly to keep the security updated). ![]()
