New PlusteK Scanner?

[evanbaines]

Saw some rumor posts that seemed to show photos at a Japanes tradeshow of a new Plustek scanner capable of medium format? Any news on this?

There were rumors on photoscala some time ago about medium format Reflecta scanner. As many Reflecta models were/are sold as Plustek (or vice versa?) in different markets, this could be the same machine. So let's wait and keep the fingers crossed that it could be the holy grail for us, amateurs after the Nikon Coolscan 9000 is gone. I really really hope that something decent comes out.

I think this is the one..

3200dpi
3.6 dmax
Not sure if its a "real" Nikon replacement, but I guess it should be better than flatbeds..

The link that finguanzo is the one. Reflecta and Pacific Imaging seem to co-produce, and given that you are in the US you may be more likely to get their unit. I seem to recall that the price point was being forecast in the $1500 range.

The link is here: http://www.scanace.com/product/pf_120.html.

It would be great if it was a Nikon replacement, although the software support for SilverFast or something similar will be key.
