    <p>Thank you for all your responses. @Doug: yes, getting out a larger fraction of the information in a negative is exactly the goal. Seeing images scanned with virtual drum scanners is incomparable to what I can get out of my Epson.<br> So I shouldn't focus on buying a new scanner and rather try to make the best of my V700 (e.g. using betterscanning accessories)?<br> Also, would it be worth considering in the long run an older Imacon scanner, like Flextight Precision II?</p>

    <p>I've been using an Epson V700 to scan my medium format negatives for the last two years. I have a budget of around $1000 and I'm thinking about upgrading to a more professional scanner. Would it be worth buying a V850 instead the 700?<br> I also read some good things online about betterscanning film holders. I want to get the entire border/edge of the film in the scan and have better sharpness - would that be the solution for me?</p>

    <p>Thank you for all your wonderfully detailed responses! <br> Two more questions came up, when reading all of them:<br> 1. Never used a Tiffen 812 before. Is it mainly for a studio environment, or useful outside in natural light as well?<br> 2. So if I understand correctly, when I'm using black and white film inside, the filters come off, but outdoors my (light yellow) B&W filter stays on?</p>

    <p>I shoot medium format film (Portra in particular), and keep a skylight UV filter on my lenses most of the time. My question is: if the filter is on the lens and I use flash with the camera, does it have any negative effect on the picture? Should I take off the filter for flash photography, or it doesn't matter (the same question applies for black and white photography)?</p>
