Epson Fluid Mount Accessory for V800 / V850 - Photo Scanner Accessory (B12B818272)

Good value for the money considering Epson charges $250 for this accessory. And it's made by Epson, not a third party knockoff.

If you want to get the most out of your Epson V850/V800 Perfection scanner, then I highly recommend using this wet mount bed. You can scan the full negative (I'm scanning 4x5, 120 and 35mm) without losing any edge detail and the wet mount helps tame curled or bent films while the fluid helps bring out the most from the film's emulsion. I use 91% Isopropyl alcohol and a very thin, optically clear mylar sheet instead of more costly fluid mount oils and scanning sheets.

The stock mount doesn’t allow me to fine tune focus and always gives me a blurry photo, especially when you compare the results with ones “scanned” using a DSLR. This wet mount solved the problem perfect. I finally can get even the grains on the film.

The Epson Fluid Mount Accessory for V850 provided an outstanding way to use the Epson Scanner with negatives from the 1960's. These negatives were very small (Minox) and were given up as lost, however with the fluid mount, the negatives were digitized and prints came out of excellent quality. I highly recommend the use of a fluid mounting system if you are into old, odd, or damaged negatives.

Haven't used it yet, but it will make scanning old negatives possible.
