[0.085 lb] I've had an ES70 for about a year now. I've had to adjust the belt once or twice as it wears in, but otherwise it works great for me. I've also got it hooked up to a motor that I got in a kit, which makes movements super-smooth, but most of the time I just use it with a flat head and pan handle, and adjust the handwheel counterweights for resistance. Highly recommended if you have short slides, but make sure to take care of that belt!

[0.085 lb] B&H was easy to work with and fast shippers

[0.085 lb] We tried ordering this product from Epson, but went in circles for days. I finally decided to come back the B&H, ordered it and it was in the office in 4 days. Perfect!!! Thank You

[0.085 lb] Firstly, I have never encountered a product whose reviews differed so much from the actual product.

I purchased this scanner primarily for its Optical Resolution. The software features are practical, easy-to-use, and magnitudes better than reviews suggest.

Use Case - Digitizing several dozen slides and negatives taken in the late 80’s and early 90’s.
All comments are based on scanning at the highest resolution.



PROS

* Both hardware and software features thoroughly complement each other. Slide and negative scanning simply works.

* Truly High-Resolution Scans - Scanning was performed at the highest resolution with TIFF file sizes in the 680-760MB file range.

* CyberViewX (software) is stable and responsive when Pre-Scanning/Scanning slides and negatives at maximum resolution.

Note - My scan times are reasonable at the highest resolution. I suspect some user’s computer hardware are unsuitable for such large data transfers over USB.

* CyberViewX (software) contains a solid set of features for adjusting scan area, color, exposure, and image clean up.

* CyberViewX (software) – “Magic Touch” does an incredible job of removing dust, scratches, specks, etc. from images. (See before/after images)

* Problem-free hardware. The unit behaves as expected with no surprises.



CONS

* Hands down, the weakest part of this product is the user manual. You need only read “Installing Hardware – Step 1” before your first head scratch. It suffers from: 1) poor proofing, 2) outdated software references, and 3) no mention of the newest software features.

* Short-ish USB cable; a longer cable would be nice.


I sat on the PrimeFilmXA fence for quite a while given the poor product reviews. I have been at 4-Stars for a while, but after thoroughly evaluating the ‘Negative Film’ support I am more than comfortable giving this product 5-Stars.

[0.085 lb] They kept me informed about a delay with e-mails about the delivery.

[0.085 lb] Great quality, precision engineered. I also bought the magic motor with it, works great either manual or using the motor. I have a sony a7s II, canon lens and a monition mounted to the slider plate.

[0.085 lb] Very smooth and light!

[0.085 lb] Great Job

Thanks

[0.085 lb] Great service! You found parts that were not easily available. I thank you and my Epson scanner thanks you! :)
