I've used a Plustek 8200i with SilverFast for about the last five or six years (before that I used a PrimeFilm 3650u) and I would highly recommend it. It gets a measured 3600ppi scanning at 3600ppi ( https://world wide web.dpreview.com/forums/post/64921968 ) in MTF tests, and 2800ppi on a USAF 1951 target ( https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/64756705 ). The automatic dust removal is besides very skillful - https://www.dpreview.com/forums/mail service/65046653
I've recently changed to a Reflecta ProScan 10T ( Pacific Image PrimeFilm XE ) because of the 4000ppi resolution on the USAF 1951 target, at 5000ppi resolution in MTF tests - https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/64942982
I'd recommend either of these scanners, although the Plustek is cheaper. The resolution divergence may matter, and the Reflecta is a bit faster than the Plustek

Great suggestions and recommendations, thanks!

I utilise a Minolta Scan Elite 5400. You'd have to get a second hand 1, they don't make them anymore. I got mine in 04.
Supposedly the Scan Aristocracy 5400 II is fifty-fifty better.

I did all my 35mm film with a Chromapro fitted with an Olympus OM 80mm bellows lens. Various cameras tin exist used -- I recall 24 Megapixels is plenty for colour, just B&W negs demand more than to preserve a crisp grain structure. 42 Mpix would generally be enough for B&W silver-based negs.

Mine is in a rather beaten-upward condition merely it does the chore.

I would concord with Barry in that I have been using a Konica-Minolta (KM) Aristocracy 5200 Mark ii for several years now for all my 35mm slide and negative scans and it can produce excellent results.
FWIW I did some comparisons with a friend recently using my scanner versus his digital photographic camera and the KM won in quality and as well as information technology had Ice to remove dust and scratches as these were former slides.
Every bit Overrank has implied other 35mm scanners are available which folk get good results from. The advantage of the Plustek range is that they are yet available whereas the KMs are long gone so you'd need to buy one used.
I have an Epson V750 (not too dissimilar to the V850) merely wouldn't consider using it for 35mm rather than the KMs.

PrimeFilm 3650u (with VueScan). Low cost, reasonably fast, capable of handling what's captured in my Kodachromes, supports IR dust removal, and doesn't demand film holders.

The Plustek Optikfilm 135i is a decent IR pass film scanner.

If y'all don't need IR and are OK with a 20 year onetime model, the 2800 lpi scanners from Minolta, Canon and Nikon however piece of work well, but endeavor to get a USB model

If yous don't need IR and are OK with a xx year former model, the 2800 lpi scanners from Minolta, Canon and Nikon still work well, but effort to become a USB model
The Canon FS4000 is also an first-class scanner, 4000ppi ( https://world wide web.dpreview.com/forums/post/64921968 ), ICE ( https://world wide web.dpreview.com/forums/post/65046653 ), a powered film ship and a APS adapter ! The just thing that lets it down is the interface, either USB1 or SCSI. USB1 is very slow and SCSI is incompatible / expensive on mod PCs. The speeds OK with APS because it will do the unabridged roll in one go, simply for 35mm it needs changing every 6 frames

I have an Epson V500 Perfection Photo scanner. It easily handles slides, negatives, and medium format film. Information technology tin can practice reflective also as transparent scanning.
I primarily use information technology for certificate scanning, but I take done negatives and slides on it.

That'southward skillful to know about the Epsons. Just curious, is it file size, clarity or something else?

That's good to know well-nigh the Epsons. Only curious, is it file size, clarity or something else?
It's particular. No consumer level flatbed can lucifer the usable resolution that's obtainable with the film scanners mentioned in the thread. For example, the V750, which is no slouch among flatbeds, merely delivers about 2300 PPI of usable resolution despite its hardware resolution of 6400 PPI.
https://www.filmscanner.info/en/EpsonPerfectionV750Pro.html
Compare that to 3200 PPI or amend with a basic film scanner.
In familiar terms, that's the difference between 8MP and 16MP - or more than.

Your proffer for the Pacific Image PrimeFilm XE opened a different road on possibilities, I went with the Pacific Paradigm Prime Film XAs super edition Film Scanner. With similar specs plus a Dmax of four.2 makes this a scanner that definitely shines. Thanks!

sybersitizen beat me to information technology, only I totally agree with his comments.
But the Epson dos have 1 advantage and that is information technology is very fast. Just for me quality rather than speed is what I prefer.
