Advertisement Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 Hi sheikhrafiq79, Take a look here scanner. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
timd. Posted May 1, 2013 Share #2 Posted May 1, 2013 i've heard the best scanner for professional use is this one Hasselblad X5, just as the best car is the rolls royce, i guess. just kidding - can you say more about what you need? things like: budget, space, amount of scans you're about to do (sometimes getting it done by someone professional is cheaper and better than getting a scanner of your own).

kanzlr Posted May 2, 2013 Share #3 Posted May 2, 2013 I can highly recommend the Plustek OpticFilm 120. Image quality for 35mm is very very good, pretty much on par with Nikons, but it also scans 120 negatives with more than 150MPixel (depends on negative size) with very good quality.

sblitz Posted May 3, 2013 Share #6 Posted May 3, 2013 looks interesting, how much does it cost? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalArts 99 Posted May 3, 2013 Share #7 Posted May 3, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) They are around $40-50k depending on accessories (drums, mounting station, software, etc..) I was trained on one when I once worked for a commercial studio. We produced the scans for this book (from the original 5x7 negatives) with the Aztek: William Eggleston: 5x7 (5 x 7) , William EGGLESTON, ALMEREYDA, Michael - Rare & Contemporary Photography Books - Vincent Borrelli, Bookseller There is a person named Lenny Eiger who runs a studio and talks a lot about the scanner on scanning forums. He's a good source for more info. He also has a YouTube video on mounting film onto the drums. The Aztek was built by the late Phil Lippincott who was the distributor (and then took over) the now defunct Howtek line. The Premier is the same shell as the Howtek HiResolve 8000. Lippincott's son now runs the business. In my opinion it's the best film scanner available and is currently being produced along with up to date software and accessories (drums, belts, drum pads, mounting station, etc..)
