PLUSTEK OpticFilm 120 Pro slide scanner

The Plustek OpticFilm 120 Pro is a film scanner for transparent originals up to 45 x 112 mm, including the 6 x 12 cm medium-format size. The package includes three film holders: one for roll film, one for 35 mm film strips and one for mounted 35 mm slides. The newly designed roll film holder is adjustable, so it can be set for any roll format from 6 x 6 up to 6 x 12, keeping the film flat in each case.

Besides the theoretical resolution of 10600 dpi, the manufacturer also states the measured real resolution, determined with a USAF1951 test chart: 5300 dpi. This means a 35 mm frame yields a file of about 38 megapixels, and a 6 x 12 cm medium-format frame about 273 megapixels. A/D conversion is 16-bit, and the usable dynamic range is specified at 4.01.

The scanner uses a CCD image sensor with LED/infrared light source and connects via USB 3.0. The package includes an IT8 test target, a power supply and the film holders, along with Plustek Lens Calibration Tool and SilverFast Ai Studio 8 software.
