*NEW* MF film scanner from Pacific Image

Vuescan does not have it on the supported scanners list.
Vuescan does not support most Pacific Image scanners with a Linux OS.
 
It's not all about sheer quality.
Automation is also important if you want ALL your pictures scanned.
I really would like a new scanner to be able to eat a full roll of 36...
Till then, the only contender is the V700 with its 24 frames ability which is not bad at all.
 
Very interesting, I am waiting for user reviews. In truth, I am equipped with both a V700 and Coolscan 5000. But V700 is still a pain, even with the betterscanning holders it takes hours to scan a couple of rolls of 6x7s. So I don't scan b&w MF film anymore, it is easier to make a real contact sheet, print and then scan the prints. But if this thing could eat the whole roll, I would consider going back to scanning the film first. I would also shoot more color MF film with it.
 
Thanks God, this scanner is a re-badged Reflecta, not a Pacific thing...

Good point: this scanner will work on modern OS's, and Reflecta have not stopped their operations like Nikon and Minolta have..
Very likely also is that Silverfast, another german company, will issue a version of their software for this scanner. I would expect it.
