Review on Pacific Image PowerFilm CCD Scanner: Fast 📷 and Automated 35mm Film Scanning at 6MP Speed! by Eric Avina

I bought this because I have hundreds of rolls of film that I want to digitize. I was drawn to the idea of wrapping one roll at a time and getting high resolution scans. This product ultimately did that and more. Many of my negatives have not stood the test of time and the colors have faded. There is a color enhancement feature in their software that really helps restore faded negatives. It scans 6 lanes of 4 pixels in less than 10 minutes at the highest resolution (24MP). Because of the compression part, it actually takes longer (50% longer?) when you create a JPEG. Storage space is not as important to me as time, so I use the TIFF format. That's why I say they have great customer service: the first two copies of this machine I received had dust issues. Something on the scanners left a streak on the image. There was no way to delete it. I sent the first one back and tried again. Keep in mind I haven't even found anything that does what I want at a price close to this price. So I really wanted to like it. When the second copy failed I started a support dance with Revain and they were understandably useless. But they put me in touch with a woman at the company who was great. I emailed her some scanned images and she made the following offer: I'll return what I had and she'll send me what she personally checked direct from her office. It did just that and my third copy of this scanner worked great. Her name is Wendy but she assures me that everyone there is just as helpful as she is. for a light table (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06Y21WQYQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) for $40 so you can check the negatives for dirt etc and dust in the shape of a lightbulb Remover (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UYQ1HUM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) for $6. If you don't have archival quality envelopes for your negatives (i.e. you're still using the envelopes the pharmacy put them in 40 years ago) I recommend buying something like this: https://www.amazon.com / gp/product/B00009R90M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1. Also bring gloves for working with negatives, e.g. amazon .com/gp/product/B00SYHWAJK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and some lint free cloths (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0001M6K24/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) . The whole thing costs about $70 and is well worth it. Since you're trying to save time, having clean negatives saves you the trouble of having to scan them twice. Proponents out there will say that if it took three tries their quality control must be poor, and I tend to agree. But if you're facing a project like mine, and many of you are, this is by far the best option.
