I’m not crazy about the work flo of having to feed it every image - but for the price that seems like a great scanner. Would certainly be an upgrade over my flat bed.

I bought scanner and find that it works better than what I expect.

[graemeroberts]

Very well explained, as always with B&H. Thank you!

[simonkeslake]

Perfect video, going too purchase one now!

[melvynjames]

To the best of my knowledge it is impossible for the camera advocates to automatically remove dust from colour negatives/slide film Silverfast with Ai will do an amazing job with this sort of scanner.

Have used this a lot a few years ago on old slides and negatives and it did a great job. Has there been any updates on the Silverfast Software (after 2019?)
and do you need to purchase separately?

Great video, very informative! Thank you

[DariusKuzmickas]

Well done video! Simple, elegant and informative.

Is there a mask that enables you to scan the edges of the film?

[AndreLMSantos]

Thanks for that video, very much clarifying!

[ClicArgentique]

[THOMASSTO]

Where do i get these colour calibration slides when they aren't coming with the scanner? My 8200 didn't have these. Only the plastic frames for Slides and Negatives and the Driver and Silferfast Software discs.

So would this scanner be the solution to scanning those old disposable Fuji cameras, that Walmart used to sell for like $5, and it would allow for you to take 27 pictures?

Do you recommend epson 850 pro or plustek 8200i ai ?

[CindyNorman]

I’m trying to figure out if I can do a bulk color correction after quick scanning. I have a lot of scans to do and I’m going to take your advice about using quickscan with 2400 PPI for a bunch of family photos. But they are old and orange and need to be color corrected. Should I use intelliscan instead? (So time consuming, it looks like!)

[fireice]

What if I already have Silverfast Ai Studio 8? Do I go for the basic version instead?

[johnpeterka]

Thank you for your video on the Plustek 8200i Ai. Have you compared this scanner to the Epson V850? I am trying to decide between those two scanners.

After you shot your 35mm film, what is involved to develop the film? Do you need chemicals and a dark room with ventilation?

[oronmendel]

Is the 7200 PPI scan done by interpolation, or is this an actual optical resolution?

Is Apple Big Sur OS supported with the scanners software?
