Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. What is the output file? Is there an option for raw output

A: Yes you can scan to a DNG file which is a raw file. The scanner comes with SilverFast scanning software that allows you to save a file to different file formats. DNG is a raw format that can be imported into LightRoom or PhotoShop.

Q: 2. Is there a difference between this and flatbed scanners?

A: Both a film scanner and flatbed scanner operate using a light source and sensors that scan through the transparency. A dedicated film scanner utilizes a transmissive light source while a flatbed scanner uses a reflective light source.The result is greater density and clarity scanned from the transmissive light from a film scanner. Current higher quality flatbed scanners offer transparency and negative holders and often include an additional light source on the lid to mimic the transmissive light.

Q: 8. How does this compare to the Epson V850? I looking for a scanner for 6X7 negatives.

A: The image quality is better than that of the Epson, but the scanner is less versatile if you have other requirements (reflective scans, large format etc). For 135 and MF, it is excellent.

Q: 9. Hello,Does this product scan up to 12 35mm frames all at one time? I mean does it automaticly do 12 scans? Or is there a way to set it to scan 12 frames back to back?I have the 8200i and it is way to slow just scanning one at a time.

Q: 10. How bad is this product? There are so many people complain about this scanner which is waste of money.

A: The software is its Achilles heel. Lack of lamp brightness and horrible frame selection hurts. Its sharper than Epson Flatbeds, but less colorful or dynamic as 120 size scans from Epson 4990 or V800. The holders are nice if film cut to 4 peices horz for plastic negative pages. Magnetic helps hold, but if film is short or too long the film can transport while being scanned. Software (possibly hardware) tends to crash a lot, too.
