I have one. About 6 months experience.
Once i did test, regarding sharpening...
so plain scan without USM (Epson software) was too soft. No grain, no
noise, but too soft.
Medium sharpen and Large sharpen was too much. Image was too noisy, and
no real gain in sharpness.
Small amount of sharpeing did the best job. Image was still without
noise, but there was noticeable amount of edge sharpness, when compared
with plain image.
3170 is good and cheap scanner for MF. Not for 35mm. But it depends... i
got some real good A4 (20x30cm) prints from Astia 100F/35mm scanned with
Epson.

Another scanner question:
Does anyone have any opinions of, or experience with, "photo" scanners
like the Epson 3170 Photo? How do their film scanning capabilities
compare to a "real" film scanner?
