Any news on the new Plustek 120 scanner?

[E__WOK]

Will there be any way to scan a whole roll of uncut film?

 

[Godfrey]

Not based on what I see. Six frame strips of 35mm or three frame strips of 6x6 look to be its limits.

 

[kanzlr]

with two 35mm strips at once, so you have 12 images in one scan. That would work for me.

German company ScanDig ("filmscanner.info") states the new Plustek will be available in their shop from mid-march and a first review of the unit can be expected for April.

This would mean that the availability has again been postponed. Does someone can confirm this information?

Let's hope the scanner will be released soon... And in the meantime, let's take some pictures and prepare some good negatives to scan when it becomes available.

It will be available much sooner !
Just got an e-mail of a Dutch distributor that they have 1 in stock. In stock messages are also appearing in other spots so guess that the Plustek 120 no longer is a phantom product ! 😀

What's the going price? I think it's $2000 in the US. Correct?

 

[Vickko]

$1999

BH Video still says "not available yet"

Yep, just checked and BHPhoto does not show it in stock...sighh.

I ordered this in September, expecting it at least by November, but no dice. There have been numerous "sightings" reported here, on APUG and on DPUG, and probably elsewhere, but no hard evidence on the ground. Still waiting but I am beginning to think that I may not see one until sometime around September 2013...maybe.

Looking good. I was afraid that it would be $2000. Happy to see that it is only $1999. Just minimal patients needed at this point.

 

[hanskerensky]

Prices in Europe range from € 1840,-- till € 1960,--.

Samples?

I searched Plustek 120 on flickr, and found a guy in Germany who seems to have a few pictures posted, recently, scanned using the Plustek Opticfilm 120!!!

From the Plustec Technologies Facebook page:

Here is another brief OpticFilm 120 update. Yes the scanner has started to ship in some regions. In the US, if everything goes right, we will be shipping to our retailers in about 10 days. We have scanners and we are now in the process of creating discs. It shouldn't be too much longer guys!

Yes! Finally, and the scans from the guy on flickr look much better than what we had seen so far!

Perhaps as soon as someone in this forum gets one, a new thread should indeed start, in the mean time....

...it's good to see someone who really seems to know how to use it well has gotten one!

He's been posting more shots, Velvia 50 35mm, Leica M6 + 90mm:

I may snag one as a backup to the Nikon.. always good to have another pitcher warming up in case the current one throws out his shoulder 🙂

Cheers,
Dave

Wow. Those 35mm slide scans look amazing. And slides are tough!

 

[Art Vandalay]

I'll be ordering one when either BH or Adorama make them available on Amazon. Have some gift cards that I want to use toward it.

yep...

And that guy on flickr keeps posting away... Looking good!! He mentions in one of the post he used to have a Nikon 5000ED, one of his comments is "fantastic" .
