<p>update: After some setting changes I can get acceptable scans from running straight off the glass holding the negative flat with another piece of glass. I can see grain now!</p>

<p>Perhaps id11 and neopan 1600 weren't such a good idea ;)</p><div></div>

<p>I don't use the Epson software but using it doesn't change how sharp the scans are. I wasn't aware that the v600 could change focus...<br>

I'll uninstall the software and drivers, do a fresh install and try packing the holder up with some paper tomorrow after work. Now it's time for sleep.<br>

Feel free to keep the ideas flowing. I hate it when things don't work like they're supposed to. It seems that ever since I started working with film a few months ago I've had dilemma and delay after delay. It's really trying my patience.</p>

<p>3200dpi and no dust removal since I am under the impression that it is useless for b&w film. Scan straight from the negative. The scene was exposed correct enough. 4 passes, multi exposure, 16 bit grey, no black or white point changes, no "s" curve. Auto level colour balance, GENERIC COLOUR NEGATIVE profile used.</p>

<p>Just tried the auto guide me mode, no difference.</p>

<p>Previous reader, now first time posting something.<br>

I'm having some image sharpness problems with my new v600 scanner. It can not even resolve the grain on neopan 1600 :(<br>

The scanned image was with vuescan 8.6.22 with no sharpening or noise reduction. The second image was inverted, cropped but otherwise straight from my 450d + canon 100mm macro lens.</p>

<p>I'll try and attach the 100% crops so you guys can see what I mean.</p><div></div>
