I just got the Epson V500 scanner as my wife needs to scan some of her parents' wedding album for a slideshow. Nice excuse, and for $149 on Amazon I couldn't pass it up.
Peeking at the box right now, I see that the glass scanning surface is indented a bit into the scanner. The pages that I have to scan from their wedding album are oversized - like an 8x10 image on a 10x12 board-like page. The pages come out (the whole album can be disassembled into a bunch of flat pages - I'll have to remember the page sequence so I can reassemble it properly) so that's not an issue. The problem is: Towards the edge of the image, the photo is actually going to be maybe as much as a few millimeters above the surface of the glass. That's going to suck, isn't it? How deep is the "depth of field" of the scanner? Am I screwed? -Charles -- Charles Robinson - [email protected] Minneapolis, MN http://charles.robinsontwins.org http://www.facebook.com/charles.robinson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
