Plustek OpticFilm 120 Professional Medium Format Film Scanner

The Plustek OpticFilm 120 is a professional-grade film scanner designed to convert physical film negatives and slides into high-quality digital files. It handles a wide range of film formats, from standard 35mm strips and mounted slides to medium format 120 and 220 roll film, supporting frame sizes from 6x4.5cm up to 6x12cm. This makes it a versatile tool for digitising extensive photographic archives or processing new film work. Key features include an 8-element glass lens system providing a true optical resolution of 5,300 dpi, paired with a high-sensitivity colour CCD sensor capable of 10,600 dpi input resolution. This optical quality, combined with stable LED light sources, delivers an effective dynamic range of up to 4.01, capturing exceptional detail in shadows and highlights. The scanner incorporates a built-in infrared channel for automatic dust and scratch removal via its included software. For workflow efficiency, it features patent-pending, adjustable film holders that keep medium format strips flat without cutting, and a motorised transport system for automated batch scanning. The unit has a compact, metal-bodied design with a folding rear cover to save desk space and minimise dust ingress. The scanner is ideally suited for professional photographers, advanced amateurs, film enthusiasts, and educational institutions like photography schools. It comes bundled with the full version of LaserSoft Imaging's SilverFast Ai Studio 8 software, which provides professional colour calibration, multi-exposure HDR scanning, and comprehensive image optimisation tools. This integrated hardware and software solution is designed for users who demand drum-scanner quality in a more accessible desktop format, making it a practical centrepiece for a dedicated film digitisation setup.
