Plustek OpticFilm 8200i SE Film Scanner

The infrared defect removal is a lifesaver for old negatives—dust and scratches vanish without smudging the grain. Setup was plug-and-play with USB, and the 7200 dpi scans are sharp enough to see every detail in a 35mm frame.

The multi-exposure feature really makes a difference in bringing out shadow detail that my old scanner would just lose. With 7200 dpi resolution, those tiny grain structures in my medium format slides come through crisp and clear.

The 7200 dpi resolution pulls out details in my negatives I never noticed before, and the multi-exposure feature gives me cleaner shadows than my old scanner ever could.
