Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Good scanner, mostly does what it says it is going to do. Works great for scanning in 35mm film strips, and handle it smoothly. Great scan quality and easy to use. Great customer service.

This scanner is capable of producing high quality digital images from film. While i'm not a professional photographer, i like the fact that i can manually use apple photos to edit my results after the scan is complete. This is a full-featured scanner ... Read More

The slide holding tray provided is quite rugged. It's a keeper. This is especially true of the trays, which are often so flimsy in most scanners.

The slide scanner comes with two different trays - one for slides, the other for 35 mm negatives. I especially love the batch-scan feature - just press a button and walk away while it scans up to six negatives at a time.

Scanner is connected by cable and powered by the ac module. It comes with the scanner, power cord, usb cable, two can trays (for slides and negatives) the scan software it comes with is easy to configure.

Cons

It frequently crashes while scanning. High contrast images such as night shots have a hard time scanning. Auto multi-crop failed. Could not get it to accept the film tray even once.

Highlights

Quality

Great scan quality and easy to use.

The slide/negative trays are very heavy duty, probably the best i have ever seen.

The software is user friendly but it can only scan all six films in the scanning process, no function for selecting individual ... Read More

On top of that, the software on my computer (which is running windows 10) was pretty glitchy and i had to close the program and... Read More

Price

It is nearly impossible for any company to be perfect and no matter how much you pay you may get a lemon from time to time.

Yes, you feel it is worth the price they charge.

Anyway - if you follow my workflow and trim the negatives slightly, you will get great and fast scans from a quite affordable scanner.

Shipping

The plustek support department sent out a replacement unit and it arrived in record time.

Contacted amazon who issued a return label immediately, and will process a full refund when the unit arrives back to them.

Waited a few weeks for the scanner to arrive, but each frame i scanned had a faint line through the resulting image.

Packaging/appearance

The seller is extremely clear who they are targeting this model for – the person who has those shoeboxes full of old family pictures.

Competitiveness

It does four slides at a time, which is what the other brands i tried did, but this was so much easier.

The 135i is much faster than my epson v600, even if it can only scan one 6-frame stripe at once.

There is no possible way to accurately show you the quality of an original 30 year old image and try to convince you what a sca... Read More

– again i would make that comparison to entry level dslr cameras.
