PLUSTEK OpticFilm 120 Slide Scanner

The Plustek OpticFilm 120 is a film scanner for digitising transparent originals up to a frame size of 45 x 112 mm, so it also handles the 6 x 12 cm medium format. It comes with three film holders for roll film, 35 mm film strips and mounted 35 mm slides, so most common film types can be scanned without extra accessories.

The newly designed roll film holder is adjustable and can be set for any roll format from 6 x 6 up to 6 x 12, keeping the film flat in each case. According to the manufacturer, the measured resolution is 5300 dpi, determined with a USAF1951 test target rather than the theoretical 10600 dpi. This corresponds to about 38 megapixels from a 35 mm frame and around 273 megapixels from a 6 x 12 medium-format frame.

The scanner uses a CCD image sensor with LED and infrared light sources and a 16-bit A/D conversion, and connects via USB 3.0. The package includes an IT8 calibration target, a power supply, the Plustek Lens Calibration Tool and SilverFast Ai Studio 8 software.
