Plustek OpticFilm 7600i Series is finally available in UK

Posted on 9 Oct 2009 at 14:34

Plustek's excellent OpticFilm 7600i negative scanners can now be bought from UK retailers.

Office 999 is selling the great value
OpticFilm 7600i SE for £243 inc VAT and the OpticFilm 7600i Ai for £355 inc VAT.

The only difference between the two is the software that comes with them; the Ai comes with a full version of LaserSoft Imaging's Silverfast Ai IT8 Studio (Multi-Exposure) 6.6 professional photo-scanning suite. However, we recommend buying the 7600i SE and spending £50 on a copy of our Hamrick Software's VueScan Professional, a powerful, inexpensive and easy-to-use alternative for Windows, Mac and Linux computers. We gave VueScan a Best Buy award in Shopper 248.

We reviewed the scanner in Shopper 259, but last-minute UK distribution problems meant that we had to list a German retailer. Now it's properly available over here, we wholeheartedly recommend it if you're serious about archiving your negatives.
