Expert opinion

Pacific Image Electronics PrimeFilm XAs Film Scanner is a great choice for those who are looking for a reliable and high quality film scanner. It is an easy to use, powerful, and portable scanner that can scan 35mm films with ease.

The PrimeFilm XAs Film Scanner has several features that make it stand out from the competition. The scanner has an auto roll film film strip scanning feature which allows users to insert film strips and roll films continuously. This makes it ideal for those who wish to scan large amounts of film frames quickly and easily. In addition, it also has an auto focus system which allows users to select points or areas during the scanning process with ease.

The user interface of the PrimeFilm XAs Film Scanner is also highly intuitive and user friendly. With the viewing window and functional buttons, users can easily see the whole scanning process as they go along. Furthermore, this scanner also offers superior image quality and scan speed due to its 4.2 dynamic range resolution of 10,000 x 10,000 dpi. This ensures that scanned images look sharp and vivid when viewed on a computer screen or printed out on paper.

In addition, the PrimeFilm XAs Film Scanner also comes bundled with Lasersoft Imageing SilverFast SE 8 software which gives users another option when it comes to editing scanned images as well as enhancing their quality even further. Finally, this scanner also includes a free SilverFast SE 8 serial number which can be used to download the SilverFast SE8 from Lasersoft Imageing website if needed.

Overall, I highly recommend Pacific Image Electronics PrimeFilm XAs Film Scanner as a reliable and high quality film scanner for both amateur photographers and professionals alike. It is easy to use, powerful, supports third party software, offers superior image quality and scan speed, and is conveniently portable making it perfect for any photography enthusiast or professional photographer looking for a dependable yet affordable film scanner solution.
