Review: Plustek Opticfilm 7300

Plustek's 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.
