Reviewed by neale. Review Posted 29/12/2009
Brilliant product. I decided to digitise my library of negatives, and had originally bought a cheap 35mm ionscan product. It was easy to use, but limited resolution & poor quality & image enhancement facilities were non-existant. So, I chose this (over the Canon 8800F) because the web reports said better image quality and a youtube video identified a 120mm negative holder. The image quality is brilliant. I am particularly impressed with the automatic colour correction option, and the auto-detection of 35mm frames. The high resolution scan speed is slow, but you can configure it to scan 2 negative strips in a batch job, and come back 20 minutes later after doing something else. I was disappointed that the high-resolution film scan area is not as large as the A4 page size (used for reflective scans). Hence, you cannot scan 5" * 4" large format negatives in a single pass. However - overall, the product is superb for 35mm and 120mm film sizes.
