📸 Pacific Image PrimeFilm XAs Super Edition 35mm Slide & Film Scanner with Advanced Automation, 10000 DPI Review

The scanner broke right after the return period had expired. Zero product support from manufacturer. When I described the problem I was told to send it back to the company I bought from. Terrible product, terrible support. Buyers beware.

5 stars Revain.com For customer service I just got a new scanner replacing Revain.com. It works. I've already started scanning old slides and negatives. Being unfamiliar with the software, I was able to get some good scans. Upgrade to 4 stars. Some scanned images will also be uploaded.

The included Silverfast software is beyond useless. It doesn't support the scanner hardware very well and causes the scanner to spin constantly, slowing down performance significantly. It often freezes on Mac and has a very dumb user interface with a lot of unnecessary features for post-processing an image (which is done…

Working. It really works. Unfortunately, that rarely works. Pros: • Ability to get very clear scans • Theoretical possibility of batch scanning • Good color • Focus! Both automatic and manual Cons: • Slow scanning • Although batch scanning is possible - results tend to suffer • Film transport issues • Random visual/optical issues like vertical and horizontal stripes - they are incompatible, which I think is worse • Potential macOS compatibility issues - or maybe the scanner is just weird, I'm…
