Review on Pacific Image PowerFilm CCD Scanner: Fast πŸ“· and Automated 35mm Film Scanning at 6MP Speed! by James Vilchez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fast scan preview but won't scan more than 6 frames or less than 3 and noisy.

My thoughts and observations - updated. The CyberView PF135 software that I downloaded from the website so I can scan the negatives is very easy to use and fairly basic in its capabilities, but it gives pretty good results. more than 6 or less than 3 frames does that Program for a The device has encountered an error loading/running the film and will refuse the full scan. It would be nice not to have to recreate old film sets before they can be scanned, and to be able to scan portions of individual frames to create a full film history and tell the software that they're a bit longer or shorter should expect. Speaking of which, the scanner previews in a very reasonable amount of time, and then when you do a high-resolution scan, it takes just as long in the scanner, but then the software takes significantly more time to interpolate the data on the computer. Feed motor I think a stepper motor and not silent at all, when scanning a lot of film and processing at the same time the noise becomes more and more annoying, look at the video I attached, that gives you an idea where you can also see the film feed speed.

Pros
  • Makes scanning easy and stress-free. The most practical and easy-to-use 35mm batch film scanner. Simply load films, set up the software with your data and scan. Now you can do other things without being tied to a computer.
Cons
  • Long delivery
