Combined with the iSRD feature in the bundled SilverFast scanning software, any dust and scratches on your negs are automatically detected and then removed from the digital scan - clever stuff. There's really only one key feature that separates the 8200i SE from the 8100, and that's its dedicated infra-red scanning channel. It's almost identical on this inside too, but that's no bad thing, as that means you're assured top-notch scanning quality, providing you're prepared to wait a while when using max 7200dpi scanning resolution. The 8100 can struggle to reveal every detail in the shadow areas of high-contrast 35mm slide positives, but this is our only nitpick.Īpart from its black rather than blue finish, the OpticFilm 8200i SE could be mistaken for its baby 8100 sibling. ![]() It also lets you scan the entire film frame with no overzealous cropping. ![]() Though the front panel has a QuickScan button that automatically scans and saves a frame to your computer desktop, it’s best to load up the bundled SilverFast software that provides comprehensive scanning options and pre-scan image enhancement.Įven without messing with the settings, and scanning at 3,600 dpi, the 8100 is in a league of its own for scan quality, extracting bags of detail from our 35mm negs and transparencies.

It’s also a real optical film scanner and not just a digital camera sensor in a scanner body. This is the baby of the OpticFilm range, yet it still boasts a respectable 7,200dpi maximum scanning resolution. ![]()
