Epson V850 Pro Photo Scanner is a Beast
The Epson V850 Pro Photo Scanner is a amazing! I am an amateur at photo reproduction and post processing, but have found the scanner setup is well documented and quickly accomplished on Windows 10 (including driver and scanner utility program installation). However, I'm using the Silverfast 8 scanner program because it provides a more comprehensive set of tools to get the best quality of scans and post processing automatically. The scanner also came with a set of frames (photo film holders) for a wide variety of film types. I hoped there would be more documentation on the use of each of the frames. Also, it's early yet, but I'm hoping to find a method of scanning multiple photos, which can then be parsed into individual images. Once scan parameters and post processing features are setup, batches of images can be scanned automatically. This frees me to do other tasks while the scanner does the heavy lifting. A lot of good user tutorials online too.

Epson on Mac M1 fails
Epson does not seem to support Mac OS. The last review I can find for Epson Scanners was 2 years ago, before M1 and M2 Macs. My Perfection scanner will not connect through a USB Doc or Hub. No direct cable is available to Thunderbolt or USB3.

Great Scanner, Crappy Software, Unhelpful Support
The scanner is a 5-Star, Epson Scan software is a 1-Star. Setting up scanner and software was super easy. The first dozen scans of 35mm negatives were flawless. But when I scanned my 120 film in the 120 holders, the troubles began. The scanner would not recognize the aspect ration of my negatives (which were at 2.25x3.5" dimension). The scanner cropped each exposure to a square aspect ratio. I triple checked my settings but could not get the scanner to scan a full exposure properly.
Technical support was very nice, but not at all helpful. The two people I spoke with didn't seem to understand my issues, and I feel confident that neither of them had ever held a roll of negative film. They each escalated my issues to an engineer, but the advice I was given did not solve the matter.
I reinstalled the software twice to resolve the issue, but after my second re-installation, the software no longer recognized the scanner. So I gave up and downloaded Silver Fast. My experience with Silver Fast so far: it's got better scanning features, but it much more complex and cumbersome to use. Epson Scan was simple. In the end, Silver Fast gives me more scanning options as I improve my workflow, but at a steep cost and learning curve.

Epson V850 pro
I am pleased to have such a versatile scanner. I bought it to scan film and it can do all the formats I care about. It can also scan prints.
The film scanning holders are different from the ones I've used before with only one strip for 120 or one frame for 4x5. Not the best for any volume but okay for small jobs. There is also a plastic sheet that attracts dust and hairs that wasn't on the ones I've used before. That is why I only gave it four stars.
But, with that said - I am very pleased to have this device.

Fine scanner. Outdated software.
Fine scanner. But the bundled Silverfast (considerably more elegant and full-featured than the Epson Scan option) and the x-rite color calibration software are incompatible with newer Mac operating systems. (Shipped with 2012 versions on CDs!). And Epson refuses to remediate these antiquated parts of your purchase.

best flat bed I have used
I bought a certified refurbished scanner it works flawlessly I've probably done over 10,000 scans with it. I don't understand the negative reviews say they can't get it to work. I use an iMac using SilverFast 9 scanning software I could not be happier with the results.

Epson V850 scanner: A wide-ranging workhorse
The Epson V850/800 is a great machine. I have used my Epson V850 scanner for many years, imaging thousands of 8x10" nitrate photo negatives, 5x7" polyester and nitrate negatives, 4x5 polyester and nitrate negatives, 6x6 and 6x9cm polyester, 35mm slides & negatives, 120 format, 127 format, 110 format, and recently a group of 1000 ~100 year old nitrate and polyester negatives measuring 6"x3.5" shot over a twenty year period. I have used the wet mount accessory many times with remarkably wonderful results when it comes to clarity and removing scratch marks.
The wet mount accessory is one of those things that goes under the radar until you try it. Its extra and takes some training, but there is no substitute when it comes to removing small scratches that plague old - and new - photo negatives. I use older Apple equipment for the power, not to mention the convenience in file naming using the Automator utility provided with OSX
I also have a V600, which I use for smaller sized film (6x6cm, 35mm, etc), but when it comes to big negatives there is little to match the V850 for regular folks on a budget.
My only regret is that there is not more detailed information concerning how the unit can be used. That said, the accompanying Epson software is great, especially when it comes to color correction.
