Q: 1. Can this scan panoramic photos? Also, can it scan including sprocket holes?

A: Yes, the Plustek 35mm Negative Film Holder for OpticFilm 120, B&H # PLFHOF120135, can scan 35mm panoramic film. The holders are not designed so sprocket holes can be scanned. That area is needed to ensure the film is held flat in the holder.

Q: 2. How does the batch feature work? Is it a mode that the machine is in to speed up the process?About how long would it take to do 20 Kodochrome or Ekachrome slides in the batch mode.

A: Plustek does not publish a scan time and the amount of time needed to scan a 35mm film frame will depend on the scan features you choose as they will affect the total time needed to scan a 35mm film frame. Back when I scanned my library of negatives, using multi sampling and Digital ICE, a single frame took about 5 minutes. The OpticFilm 120 uses an automatic motorized film transport system that speeds the scanning workow. You load 5 mounted slides into the holder and the scanner will scan each one chrome individually.

Q: 3. How many 35mm slides and 35mm negatives will this batch scan?

A: You can scan 5 35mm slides and 2 strips of 6 35mm negatives.

Q: 4. How does this compare to the Epson V850? I looking for a scanner for 6X7 negatives.

A: 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.

Q: 5. Are additional film carriers available for purchase?

A: We do not sell additonal holders for this model.

Q: 6. How bad is this product? There are so many people complain about this scanner which is waste of money.

A: The software is its Achilles heel. Lack of lamp brightness and horrible frame selection hurts. Its sharper than Epson Flatbeds, but less colorful or dynamic as 120 size scans from Epson 4990 or V800. The holders are nice if film cut to 4 peices horz for plastic negative pages. Magnetic helps hold, but if film is short or too long the film can transport while being scanned. Software (possibly hardware) tends to crash a lot, too.

Q: 7. how many images will it scan at a time?

A: With a strip of film in the holder you have to do one at a time, although after you do the settings for one, you can move to the next scan pretty easily

Q: 8. Are you able to utilize a manual focus option incase the slide is bent or damaged and the autofocus isn't working?

A: There is no manual focusing option on this scanner. The lens is fixed.

Q: 9. Is it possible to manual focus?

A: I'm sorry, But I really don't know. I've only used the scanner in auto focus.

Q: 10. Is it compatible with Apple's new OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 operating system?

A: Plustek has not released updated drivers for OS X Mavericks at this time.
