This 7200 dpi resolution scanner is designed with state of the art illumination and optical systems. Plustek OpticFilm 8100 is a dedicated 35mm film and slide scanner that scans color negative film, black and white negative film, slides, reversal film and Kodakchrome film. Plustek has manufactured dedicated film scanners for over 20 year and we understand film photography image quality and scanning requirements. But if anyone is using either then I'd appreciate their views.It doesn’t matter if you have old slides to convert into digital format, or you are still shooting film today, the OpticFilm 8100 scanner is a dedicated film scanner that is up to both tasks. I'll probably stay safe and choose between the Reflecta and Plustek. I just need to decide on the hardware now.

So most of you seem sold on VueScan rather than the most expensive (and possibly powerful SilverFast). I tended to use the mainstream slide film from Kodak but did use High-speed Ektachrome for total solar eclipse shots.

If / when I bought a flat-bed I'd be annoyed if I had to buy SilverFast again which it sounds like I'd have to No because it doesn't address the, can't remember if I have any Kodachrome.

VueScan appeals because you don't have to buy software again if you change scanners. Does £600 sound a reasonable price for the Coolscan V. But if anyone is using either then I'd appreciate their, thanks, appreciate you taking the time to do, I know it is but a little reluctant to buy second-hand off eBay.

I just want to get the best possible images digitised so I can both share them and enjoy them on a 55", thanks, appreciate you taking the time to do, I know it is but a little reluctant to buy second-hand off eBay.

I used an Olympus OM2 with various Zuiko lenses for all these shots and film was generally 50-200 ISO so the quality is there. Is Silverfast reasonably easy to get to grips with? I'm retired so the time to scan these is not an issue. I already own Adobe Photoshop Elements 14. I'd appreciate your views on which you consider better.

The Reflecta only ships with Cyberview and only from overseas whereas the Plustek ships with SilverFast SE Plus 8 on Amazon. The alternative is the Plustek 8200iAi for £343. The Reflecta ProScan is available for around £350. Largest photos are around 10x8 but the majority are 6x4 and a few even smaller.įor scanning slides and negatives I've whittled it down to two but can't make a decision. The Epson remains a possibility for prints but if anyone could recommend one with a smaller footprint I'd appreciate it. So I decided to split the project into two parts and acquire a scanner best suited for the source material. But the downside is it's huge and probably not ideal for scanning slides & negatives. I did briefly consider an Epson V600 flatbed scanner which has received plenty of positive reviews for both tasks. I also want digitised images of these as I hold the only copies and would like to share them with family members.

I also have family photos with a few going back over 100 years but many taken in the 40s - 70s. Some may be printed but the vast majority will remain as digital files. I have several hundred 35mm slides from the early 70s to the late 80s plus a considerable number of colour negatives that I want to convert to digital images.
