As a few of my followers of my blog know I have started getting back into shooting film again.
It’s a very enjoyable experience but is not a cheap pastime so I decided to take the film scanning part of the cost out by purchasing my own film scanner, an Epson Perfection V330 Photo to be precise.

Not only can I scan in my newly shot negatives but I had loads of old stuff dying to see the light of day and enter the digital world.
I have noticed that it is far easier to scan the new negs than it is the old ones, even though I thought I had taken care of them every little imperfection really stands out when scanned at 3200 dpi or approx 12 megapixel which is plenty for what I want to use them for.
I have uploaded some of my first scans, a mixture of old ( my daughter Amy on her 3rd Birthday 14 years ago) and some taken last weekend.
I am really impressed with the scanner it is pretty quick and the quality is first class, I scanned the neg of my son that I took a few weeks ago to compare it to the original scan I had when getting the film processed and I must say it was like chalk and cheese this little scanner took the prize.
comments very welcome……..

I love my scanner, purchased on a whim during a quick visit to London some years ago, mine is also an Epson, now about eight years old but the quality is excellent and it will cope with negs of all sizes up to 10×8 plus prints up to A4; can’t fault it!
