Olaf, the scans look great. But I'm wondering if the V600 has been discontinued. I bought mine some years ago on the Epson rehab site for $199. I just checked the site and it does not show up, and if you tried to order a new one from Epson it shows as out of stock. A lot of retailers still have them, but quite a few are showing out of stock. Maybe it is just a supply chain hiccup, but if somebody wants to buy a V600 sooner may be better than later, and even new at $299 I think it is good value for money if the product is going to be images to post. At 64 ppi (I think that is the resolution of posted images) the V600 is as good for slides as as my high priced Nikon scanner. And for 2x2 negs it is all you need in my book, even for big enlargements. If you want to make 11x14 prints from 35mm originals the Nikon is clearly much better.....if you can find one.
