Plustek OpticFilm 7200 7200DPI Film Scanner

Plustek OpticFilm 7200 7200DPI Film Scanner Review

Bought this scanner to convert 400 color slides taken by my grandfather during his time abroad during the Korean War era.

The slide holder allows you to easily move through scanning 4 slides in a row. The computer software included with the scanner is very user friendly. And the auto-correct feature of that software, with a little practices, yields photos that are almost perfect - without any scratches or blips from the original slide.

Each slide, with computer processing (and resoluion desired), takes approximately 60-90 seconds. Several resolution settings available. Was able to print 1 slide as an 8x10 photograph without any indication that the original was a slide.

Highly recommend this scanner for digitalizational of all your slide photographs.
