Plustek OpticFilm 35mm film and slide scanner – High resolution, high quality digital images from your film and slides
The OpticFilm 8200i SE is a high-performance 35mm film and slide scanner that outputs brilliant digital images from analog film. It’s ideal for digitizing slides, color film and black and white film.
It’s the perfect scanner for professional and amature film photographers, and people that simply want to convert their old film and slides to digital format.
The OpticFilm 8200i SE uses a CCD sensor with 7200dpi high-resolution, specifically designed for film scanning, with 48-bit color bit depth that captures all the details from the original film. The scanner’s infrared channel removes dust and scratches eliminated the need for extensive post-processing correction.
Extraordinary enlargements from photo film
State of the art imaging system
The Plustek OpticFilm 8200i SE is designed with state-of-the-art illumination and optical systems.
It uses a high-sensitivity color CCD sensor and LED illumination to ensure optimal image quality.
The built-in infrared channel detects dust and scratches on the film surface and automatically removes them.
7200 DPI High Resolution
This dedicated 35mm film scanner features true 7200 dpi optical resolution that ensures sharp and vivid images. Output files up to 68.9 megapixels are similar to those created by a full frame digital-SLR camera.
You can create high-quality enlargement prints up to 36” x 24”.
High Dynamic Range
Dynamic range is the range of recordable light from darkest to lightest on the exposed film that a scanner can read.
With a dynamic range of up to 3.6 D, you will rediscover how beautiful and natural the highlights and shadows are in analog photography.
iSRD - Infrared Dust and Scratch Removal
Slides and negatives always have small dust particles and tiny scratches on them, even when handled very carefully.
The OpticFilm 8200i scanner has an infrared channel that finds all the the dust and scratches on the film surface. Infrared light has a very wide wave-length, which allows it to pass through film emulsion of negatives and slides without resistance, as opposed to scratches and dust particles that reflect it. SilverFast iSRD utilizes this behavior as follows.
The image is scanned two times - the first is the regular scan and the second is the additional infrared scan that captures defects like dust and scratches only. Then the calculative dust and scratch removal takes effect, only where the infrared channel has detected any defects without losing any important details.
In conclusion, OpticFilm 8200i Series can automatically remove the dust and scratches from the scanned image.
Dust and scratches are removed during the scanning process eliminating the need for post-process removal of dust and scratches.
(PS: The scanner's infrared rays cannot permeate through the silver halide layer, so it not works for B/W negatives scanning.)

This scanner can handle 35mm slides or negatives, in color or B&W. We wanted to digitize old family slides from my wife's parents, on behalf of her family members, so we bought this bundle. The scanner works well and quickly, with adjustable resolution so you can match the resolution for the need. In our case, a somewhat lower resolution was saved in JPG format (using the included SilverFast 8.8 SE software), with some color adjustments (for film aging and lighting situations) and sharpness tweaking (for the less-than-professional photos from decades ago, before motion compensation was built into digital cameras); the resulting images were more than clear enough for the purpose, and much higher resolutions of the scanning are possible. I scanned over 3000 slides in less than a month, and I was quite pleased with the results for this purpose. Among dedicated film-to-digital scanners, this one is very cost effective, and well worth the investment. For more sophisticated users, the SilverFast program can be upgraded to a higher-capability version, or there are options for bundling. SilverFast seems to be recognized as one of the better digitizing and control programs for scanners, and has a wide range of capabilities that can be learned... but just be aware that you will have to work through some old-style interfaces with minimal explanations to get to all of the capabilities of the software, which is written and supported through a European company. SilverFast version 9 and above requires a 64-bit Windows 11 computer for the Windows version, otherwise you will only be able to use version 8.8 and below; there are additional versions specified that depend on the particular scanner and the price paid. This Plustek scanner came with version 8.8 and the SE "feature level," which is not the highest available, but it could be upgraded for free to 9.0 if I had a 64-bit machine.
