Plustek OptiFilm 8200i

The scanner is USB 2.0. I'm not sure if it would help to have USB 3.0. I think the majority of the time it takes to do a scan is the movement of the scan head and post processing of the image. The transfer speed may not take up a large portion of the...

Hardware seems very capable. On 7200dpi scans you can see film grain sharply resolved. Great value as scanner comes bundled with Silverfast Ai

Installation procedure is confusing. Don't be surprised if you get a bunch of error messages. You can ignore/cancel most of them and keep going. You do not need to install the Presto! PageManager program. I have used both Silverfast and Vuescan with...

Wow!

This is the first time I have used a dedicated transparency scanner. I know this is a new model ; I am totally impressed with the abilities of this machine. I followed the advice of the other reviewers of similar models and purchased the Vuescan...

None so far except one lockup when I aborted a scan. Had to reboot

Plustek film scanner 8200i SE

I previously used a Primefilm PF3600 and changed to the Plustek 8200i SE simply to upgrade the technology. The objective was to digitise monochrome film and Kodak slides from 40 years ago, many of which had dust marks and scratch damage. The SilverFast...

Good results but software difficult to work

The scanner is solid and appears well built. It arrived with a European plug so I had to hunt down an adapter before I could get going. It produces good scans but it can take a minute or two for each negative depending on the size of image required....

Plustek OpticFilm8200iSE Film Scanner - not impressed with Silverfast software support.

12/8/12 - After much research on the web, I recently I bought a Plustek OpticFilm 8200i SE Film Scanner from Amazon to convert my old 35mm slides and some negative film to digital format. The item was delivered promptly and upon opening the box was...

Consumer review by: MalB (amazon.co.uk)

Not any use.

A poor first impression as I had to wait to try the product due to the fact that it comes with a Continental 2-pin power supply. Why is it not illegal to sell products not fit for immediate use in the UK. Once able to try the device, extremely...

Plustek 8200i

Why supply an item for use in the UK with only a 2 pin continental plug? How frustrating is this for me as a customer. I have no idea whether ornot the scanner is any good as I am unable to try it.

Plustek OpticFilm 8200I SE

Compact and easy to use

Handling of dust and scratches is TERRIBLE! It is worse than the 8-year old PF3650 for which it was intended to be a replacement. It is not even in the same league as my 4-year old flatbed Epson V700. I have returned it. (I did not compare it on...
