I've got a epson v500 and a konica minolta elite scan 5400, but the difference between scan results isn't that big. The biggest difference is in resolution and a bit more dynamic range, which isn't noticeable anymore after edits for almost all my shots.
Maybe get some of your negatives scanned somewhere else and see if there's a big difference with your own scans? -
Same here with a v700. To the extent that I've sent my last few films to filmdev to scan - scanning myself seems to get such lacklustre results and is ridiculously time consuming.
I used to love scanning negs with the Nikon scanners at uni, but it's a total bore with the epson, especially for such crap results.

I've had it to the back teeth with scanning negatives. I'm using a V600 and nothing I've tried results in a decent scan. Loads of digital noise, poor colours (I mean like it was shot on a 90s mobile phone bad)
I'm almost certain it's not the negatives, because I've tried negs shot last week right through to ones shot 10 years ago.
Have tried Vuescan and set exposures, locked film base colours. Tried Epson Scan without success.
Drivers are fully up to date, reinstalled. I've scanned in RAW, TIFF, JPG. No difference.
This is from a 6400dpi TIFF, using Vuescan exactly as directed by them, it's dogshit... time for a new scanner? Suggestions?
