Sounds great George have you done black and white film scans with it and does it hold up with only being 16bit

Maximum optical resolution is listed as 7000 dpi.  Frankly I have never gone that high and I'm pleased with my prints.  I bought mine from B&H in NY although it's widely available from major outlets.  Here's the link to the manufacturer:

I am very pleased with my Optek 8200i.  Comes with carriers for 35mm negs and slides and sells numerous places below $500.  Mine came bundled with Lasersoft's Silverfast scanning software.

Thanks for the suggestion but that one is a bit out of my price range. Lol. Looking to spend more like 500 to 700.

I have a lot of 35 mm and medium format film to scan and wondering if anyone can make a recommendation. I am a fine art photographer that will  be displaying prints from 8x10 to 16x20 . I am not interested so much in speed  of the scan but highest resolution for printing.  Also do you think the scan will come close to enlarging with a schnieder lens?





Getting tired of dealing with the chemicals I just picked up an EPSON P600 to get some archival quality to get me started.
