Any news on the new Plustek 120 scanner?

[Norkusa]

No new V700 at $300 on eBay.
If you're talking about 2nd hand, then your whole point is irrelevant.

I'd even buy a used V700 for $300 if I could find one. All the ones I've seen on Ebay sell for $400-$450.🙁

Is Xpan possible on Plustec 120?

Is Xpan possible on Plustec 120?

Please forgive my beginners question, but will it be possible to scan Xpan without too much fiddling?

It should, as long as it scans 6x7.

It does.

Without a dedicated holder, I think it's going to be difficult to scan a 24x65 XPan frame.

Thanks all for responding. Mark your emphatic affirmative makes me even more impatient for the scanners launch.

It also make sense that a special holder will have to be made. I can only hope that the Xpan users will not be forgotten!

So in the mean time all I can do is wait ( and live even more frugally in order to pay for it when does arrive.)

Ha! I am just as impatient for the scanners availibility!!!!🙂

I'll definitely be considering buying one.

I've been shooting 120 a ton lately and want something more than my Epson. I can't justify shelling out a ton of cash for a Nikon 9000ED when they don't update the software. The other option I was considering, an older SCSI Imacon, seems to be even more of a headache.

I can't wait for these to come out. Has the MSRP been announced?

 

[BradM]

Me too. I want to use 120 more and no-one nearby will develop/print it at a reasonable cost. I'd love to be able to develop at home and scan it into a computer (I can't justify getting a flatbed scanner ATM)..

 

[newsgrunt]

if it does 6x17, I'd be super chuffed

 

[peter_n]

Me too!! 🙂

 

[david.elliott]

I'll buy it when it comes out. Would be nice to have an estimated release date and estimated retail price. 😉

 

[biglou]

If as good (or better) than the X5, less expensive, then it will be my choice.
I need a scanner now.

 

[crf529]

Depending on price I'll have this as soon as it's out....looks like the exact scanner I've been searching for.

Any news lately on the release?

If by "nearby" you mean in the southern hemisphere, you nailed it 1000% (and you can add decent-quality scanning and 35mm to that too) :bang:

I just sent a couple of rolls of 120 (colour, 645 and 6x9) off to NCPS for processing and scanning. I know, it seems ridiculous to send film from Australia to the US (and back) but at the moment there does not seem to be any viable alternative, especially for those of us who, for whatever reason/s, cannot set up their own processing for B&W 🙁

I am really looking forward to seeing how the new MF Plustek works out. I hope they managed to source a really top-notch CCD since the original one fell through.

Happy Easter (if that's your bag!)
Scott 🙂

There are labs that might be better options than NCPS...that offer downloading instead of having to mail CDs, and will store your negs until such time they can be shipped back in bulk, saving quite a bit on postage....

 

[XFer]

No news anymore?
Weeks passed, months passed...!

We all can dream but I think you're expecting a bit too much if you think that it will rival the X5. At best it'll be on a level with the Nikon 9000.

Hmmm. What's that smell? Could it be.. vapor??
