The Plustek Opticfilm 8200i film scanner features infrared-based iSRD dust removal , which effectively removes dust particles and scratches from negatives and slides.

The multi-exposure function allows you to capture all the tones of dark and difficult-to-scan images. The function scans the same image several times and creates a high-quality file from the images.

Note: When comparing scanners, it is not a good idea to only look at the resolution promised in the product information (stated in DPI). When using a flatbed scanner, the resolution is greatly affected by the quality of the film holders (the image resolution suffers if the negative is not straight). Separate film scanners such as Plustek have good film holders, and there are no additional glass surfaces in front of the scanner's CCD sensor like in a flatbed scanner. The comparison image shows the sharpness of the image of a flatbed scanner and a real film scanner scanned at different resolutions; the film scanner wins in resolution even if smaller file sizes are used.
