This represents another experimental series of scans with my V600 and recently downloaded Epson Scan 2 (6.4.99.0) software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019d purchased my Epsom V600 about 2011 to replace an earlier Epson V500 scanner that had suffered a failure. Until recently I was using the original Epson software to drive the V600. The other night I decided to upgrade the software and install it on a more modern & much faster Apple MacBook Pro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although Epson\u2019s Scan 2 software appears to have been on the market for a while, I’d just discovered it the other day. More to the point, I\u2019ve found that it vastly improved my scans. This scanner-driver software combination offers greater clarity, exceptional sharpness, and runs faster and more consistently which allows the same scanner to perform noticeably better than with the earlier Epson driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019d exposed this medium-formet Kodak Tri-X 400 ISO black & white film using my Rollei Model T, while exploring Austria\u2019s Semmering Pass with photographer Denis McCabe in August 2003. On a warm afternoon we waited out a thundershower at the station shelter in Breitenstein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 I\u2019d processed the film after my return to Dublin using Ilfotec HC liquid developer which offered broad tonal range and very fine grain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
