F808

The F808 is a flatbed scanner manufactured by Epson. It is part of a series of scanners that were released in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The F808 model features a Resolution of up to 300 dpi and a document scanning speed of up to 24 seconds for a A4 size document.

One of the notable features of the F808 is its film scanning capabilities, specifically designed for 35mm and 126 negatives and slides. The scanner comes equipped with a built-in UV-LED lamp for exposure adjustments, helping to improve the quality of captured images.

The F808 also includes a range of software tools for image editing and management. This includes Epson's SilverFast software, which offers a set of functionalities for color correction, calibrating, and adjusting the image. Additionally, the scanner supports TWAIN and WIA drivers, allowing users to integrate it with various graphics editing software.

The F808 has generally received positive reviews from experts as well as users. Reviewers praised the scanner's functionality and overall build quality, although some noted its bulkiness and weight. Some users have expressed concerns regarding the scanner's reliability, with certain models reportedly experiencing issues with the UV lamp or scanning belts.

Epson discontinued the F808 and similar models around 2011. The scanner still maintains considerable utility for photographers, researchers, and other professionals working with analog media, although alternatives are available in the market.
