Not yet on the market but a "teaser" page is up:

 

OpticFilm 120 | Introduction | Plustek

 

logged-in to post the very same link! Looks very promising! Slightly disappointed that the holders seem to obscure the film edge - but I love the way they've thought through holding the film while being able to adjust the position of individual frames. Much better than the Nikon versions (if they work as intended, that is).

 

I also realized from this how much smaller it is than the 9000 - which is something of a mammoth. If the Plustek rep posting on RFF is to be believed, the quality is nearer to a Flextight X5 than the 9000.

 

Great to see it's getting closer. Fewer sleepless nights worrying about the Nikon breaking from now on. :o

 

... and I see Pete was posting while I was writing...

I honestly don't know in which direction Dr Kaufmann is looking when he says film only has a few years left. He makes a scary advocate for Leica's future.

Exactly. Seems like the Middle East web-team have jumped the gun putting these pages on a publicly accessible server. It was an eagle-eyed member of RFF who picked up on it. The thread over there has many more details from Plustek about the development process and anticipated launch.

Mark from Plustek here. It's just one of those web things that gets turned on accidentally during testing and never gets turned off! It's actually up on the US site to, but you really have to be sneaky to find it!

what do you think the msrp on it will be and any sense on when it will be officially offered? i appreciate it is just a guess, but some guesses are a bit more educated because of familiarity with the manufacturers tendencies.

Thanks to everyone who has provided information about OpticFilm 120.

 

I have a CS 9000 today, but fear the day it will no longer work.

Even if I should decide myself to stop completely to shoot film, - I have of course like most others, - thousands of pictures already taken with film, which I would like to communicate digitally.

OpticFilm 120 resembles very much on CS 9000. I hope this optics is just as good.

Does anyone know who manufactures this lens?

 

Anyway, I am looking forward to study tests done with this scanner.:)
