35mm Slide Scanner Reviews

Plustek Opticfilm 7300. Do you still keep some or perhaps a pile of film negatives in the past? Are you a person eager to make copies of those precious images from the negatives you have but are confused which brand of scanner to get what with the numerous models available today?

Let me share then my experience with Plustek Opticfilm 7300. I bought this device upon recommendation of some friends who have been using the same scanner. Some of them are into the printing business and so I trusted their opinion and the truth is, they’re right in saying that this brand of scanner is a reliable one.

This is competitively priced but you’ll be surprised at how a fast worker it is. With its multi-exposure and multi-sampling functions, it can produce quality images even from your old negatives and slides.
From the installation to the operation, the Plustek Opticfilm scanner is easy to use. What’s great about it as well is that it has a slide viewer at the top part of the unit and a negative holder to keep the films in place thereby making your work very convenient. One thing I observed, though, is that the holder needs to be a little bit tighter when the negatives are being scanned.

This scanner also comes with an editing software called SilverFast. This alone is a big plus already because of the wonders it does to the images to produce the best results. No need to be skilled on this because beginners can easily learn the proper ways to edit their images just by following the instructions. Read Customer Reviews -Plustek Opticfilm 7300
