Anybody own the V600 and this one and can offer an opinion on the difference? I can read the specs, interested in your direct experience.

The V850 is much better. The film/slide holders are better. We had a problem scanning textured photos with the V600, but not with the V850. The scans of film and slides are better. Glad that we updated.

How do you use the fluid mount tray?. Does the film get wet?. Can you use it without the fluid ?. Thank you

I would Google/YouTube "Wet Scanning" to get more details. But, to answer your question, yes the film will get wet. You put special fluid in the tray and then put your negative in it. At a basic level, wet scanning will help at filling in scratches, reduce/eliminate light scattering and refraction, hold the image flat to the glass, and a variety of other benefits that can help improve the image quality for scanning. It adds quite a few steps (and time) to your workflow process. Unless you were working on a special project (books, etc.), going to make large prints, I wouldn't wet scan.

So load a slide tray and the software will cut them out and save each one in a seperate file? Can you load on several photos and auto cut into files?

You can, yes. The software (Silverlight) lets you do batch scanning where you set the multiple scan areas and then hit batch and it scans them in order. You must set the scan area for the tray as well (Not automatic), but it works without the trays as well.

how does this compare to the Plustek for 35mm scans?

I agree with B. Menke on this. While I do not have a Plustek, I do use a primefilm xas (and before a primefilm xa) for 35mm film scanning, A dedicated 35mm film scanner of decent quality will give better scans than a flatbed can. However, the Epson V850 is more versatile and I use it for medium and large format film. The Epson is the way to go if you don't exclusively shoot 35mm film and cannot afford to get two scanners.
