OpticPro ST64 Highlights - AP 7th May 2005 by Angela Nicholson

Full Review (pdf, 1.2MB)

"Amateur Photographer has seen that Plustek with OpticFilm 7200 is capable of delivering some impressive results, so it will be interesting to see how the £99.99 OpticPro ST64 fares against the £339 Canon & Epson models."

"applying the 300ppi standard with 35mm originals means the Plustek scanner generates images up to 15" x 10""

"the Plustek 3200dpi resolution is perfectly adeqate to give images from scans of medium format film - which can be printed to A4 or A3 size"

"to reduce scan times & halve file sizes .. you can scan at 24bit colour .. images are made up of 16 million colours"

"images produced with the Plustek at 24bit colour are clear .. but blue channel interference with 48bit scans means that Plustek cannot compete with the performance of 48bit Epson & Canon scans"

"the Plustek has nothing in the way of automated image repair... a little time spent with a digital imaging package will soon deal with any marks on scans"

"a 6 x 7cm 2400dpi scan in 48bit mode took a quite reasonable 2minutes 45 seconds & produces an 187MB file. Printing this file at 300dpi would generate prints approx 54 x 45cm (21" x 18"), ideal for printing on an A2 printer."

"the Plustek 35mm film holder is far easier to use than Epson or Canon's and holds the film just as flat"
