Plustek OpticFilm 7400

 

At a claimed 7,200 pixels per inch (ppi), the 7400's optical resolution is easily high enough to retain enough detail to print images at 8 by 10 inches or larger, or even crop in on a part of the image and enlarge it.

Claimed 7,200 pixel per inch optical resolution. Comes with sophisticated scan utility for high-quality scans

Scans only one slide or frame of film at a time. Little to no automation in software. No hardware- based dust and scratch removal

The Plustek OpticFilm 7400 delivers reasonably high-quality scans, but it lacks the hardware-based dust and scratch removal you'll find in Plustek's more expensive models.

Bringing Back Jimi Hendrix

 

After 45 years of searching I found my lost transparency of Jimi Hendrix in 2010. I photographed Jimi in January 1967. I own all the copyrights. The condition of the photograph was very, very poor. I scanned the image on my original Plustek 7300 bought...

Might work if it would actually install

 

I got this scanner yesterday. I've been trying to install it for over an hour. My computer has the WIndows 7 operating system and none of the installation instructions actually work on my computer. I finally got the hardware and software installed, but...

This scanner is annoying to use

 

The quality of the scans this thing makes is pretty good, as far as I can tell. However, actually using the scanner is kind of a terrible experience. If you like to scan your negatives shortly after getting them back from processing, don't get this...

Plustek 7400 with FilmScan USA 110 format adaptor

 

After about 10 months of use scanning my way through several thousands of negatives (BW & colour)I uncovered a "forgotten" cache of old Agfa 110 format 100ASA negatives. Plustek does not supply a 110 adaptor, however I was able to find a "pro-quality"...

Awesome

 

The ONLY drawback has been the time required to scan; however, the quality more than makes up for the wait.

Consumer review by:

decent scanner, somewhat difficult software

 

I bought this scanner to scan about 2000 old, mostly Kodachrome slides dating back to the 50's. I'm through the first 1000, and it works reasonably well 90-95% of the time. I'm just trying to get these family pictures available to the next generations,...

Great Little Scanner

 

After a day of boring research, I ordered the Plustek 7400 Film Scanner based mostly on Amazon reviews. I don't have any slides, just a ton of 35mm negatives collected over 45 years or so. The Plustek has performed flawlessly so far (about 200 scans)....

Slides to digital files in a snap

 

I used to be a professional wildlife photographer living within three miles of Yellowstone National Park. Life took a turn and I don't shoot much anymore. I do however have a huge collection of slides that are almost useless to me. I decided to get...

Works well

 

I read all of the reviews, and was undecided between the lower-end image-capture devices that take a single image from negatives, and the real scanners like this Plustek. In then end, I went with this model, the 7400, which is the most basic of the...
