Pacific Image PrimeFilm 120Pro Multi-Format Scanner

Did anyone hear about this 120 scanner? Is this new or has it been around?

I wonder how it compares to the upcoming Plustek 120. This one is $1750 right now at Adorama.

Oh yea def deal breaker. I like how the Plustek 120 auto feeds too.

Also resolution isn't that impressive, especially for scanning 35mm. My cheaper scanner from the same manufacturer (proscan 7200) has much better resolution. I think the upcoming plustek is the most interesting specs wise.

You don't have to kill your dealer over this...

I'd settle for a 3200 dpi scanner for 6x6 anytime, since my current one is only 1200...

It may be. The reflecta is a 3 line sensor doing 3200dpi. And you don't have to cut the film. You have to turn the film in the holder to get the third image from a strip of 3 6x6cm negs. The reflecta will only do upto 6x12 so if you are thinking 6x17 forget it.

I have an epson F3200 which will do 6x17 and 4x5 and two 6 neg 135format strips. They didn't sell them in US but in Netherlands you may be able to pick one up secondhand. Not upto the quality of the nikons though but really handy for quick scans of any format upto 4x5. Wouldn't recommend it for 135 format.
