Opticfilm range of film (negative and slide) scanners tend to give
good results, but it takes a little tinkering to make the most of
the scanned images. The new 7300 is no exception.
The scanning guides supplied (into which you slot a strip of negatives
or a set of mounted slides) are sturdy and easy to use. But it's
too easy to allow the negative or slide to move just a touch, resulting
in a tilted image. This can be fixed easily enough but it's still
a hassle. Scan times are similar to competing film scanners, but
the lack of batch scanning – each frame must be scanned individually
– is a problem.
