Plustek OpticFilm 120 Film Scanner

Those sound like 120 format 6x6 slides. You can scan 120 format 6x6 film, but you would need to remove the slides from the mounts.

Not sure about the dust sealing... But if your neg is 100% clean the scan will be clean adequately.

Hi, in terms of pure image quality, the OF120 will far exceed the Epson performance. I have both. The OF120 has a stated optical resolution of 5300PPI, and testing shows it to be somewhere in the 4K range, depending on how you interpret the results of the Air Force test image. The other advantage is that the OF120 can take multiple samples at each position of the scan head to drive down noise. The Epson can only take one sample at each location of the scan head, so if you want to get the same benefit of multiple samples to average down noise, the scan head has to make multiple passes for each number of samples you want, plus another for multi-exposure, and another for Infrared (If I remember correctly). So if you want to measure each point on your slide/negative 16 times, the head has to move over the entire image 16 times (18 if you include IR and ME). As there is always slop in a mechanical system, the odds of the head reading the very same point on the negative each pass are low. This leads to a softening of the image.That same testing methodology puts the Epson 700/750/800/850 family at the low 2000's range (2250 PPI). So for pure resolution, the OF120 is the clear winner. I believe test show that the Dmax of the OF120 far exceeds the Epson. My experience has been that the Epson physical architecture allows more light pollution into images due to both the large light source and ambient light coming in from the side. Overall, my gut feeling is that scans done on the Epson look like scans, whereas the images from the OF120 look like they were perfectly captured by a digital camera (not in a bad way)while still containing the essence of film.However, this is all moot to me, as I cannot get the G--Damn OF120 to work with either Silverfast or Vuescan. I've sent one back already due to horrible noises, and locking up while making those horrible noises. The replacement unit has the same problems and I think the gear-train has broken in less than 24 hours (I am an engineer who has built rockets and satellites for 20 years, so I am familiar with precision measuring equipment, and have not abused the unit). VueScan support is spotty at best, and SilverFast is the antichrist of scanning software. A problem I am having with both the first and 2nd unit is that I will get the preview of the image I want to scan all lined up, but the actual scan will start halfway down the image I want to capture and continue into the next image and cover the first half of that image. Also, I have noticed that when the image I want to capture is the last of 3, in a holder designed for 4 images, the scanner will capture half an image of nothing but the light source. By looking at this, I can see stripes that tell me the sensor line-array has problems.I am going to return this one and move on to using a DSLR with a macro lens and a light table with camera mount to scan my medium and large format images. It is much faster, and if combined with HDR techniques, you'll capture highlight and shadow detail and frankly move much faster. The downside is that you will have to manually deal with dust and scratches, and if you want to capture medium and large format images with a resolution higher than your DSLR, you have to take multiple partially-overlapping images of the slide/negative and stitch them together in the imaging software of your choice. It's still quicker than taking 18 passes with a dedicated scanner. There are great articles on the web about this, as well as videos on you-tube. Check it out!

There are no issues with Windows 10 using this scanner.

It comes with a D.C. Power adapter, which can work for both voltage

The image quality is better than that of the Epson, but the scanner is less versatile if you have other requirements (reflective scans, large format etc). For 135 and MF, it is excellent.

Depending on the resolution you are scanning at 10+ minutes a frame. Its not a peed demon but the results are worth the wait.

Yes you can scan to a DNG file which is a raw file. The scanner comes with SilverFast scanning software that allows you to save a file to different file formats. DNG is a raw format that can be imported into LightRoom or PhotoShop.
