Dante Stella tell us about the Kodak / Pakon F235 Plus high-speed film scanner:
First, it is designed for speed. An F235 Plus, for example, will do 800 frames an hour at 3000×2000 resolution (yes, that’s 33 rolls per hour, or a roll or 24 frames about every two minutes). With Digital ICE turned on, it still does 400 frames an hour.
Color correction. Kodak basically owns the world of color correction, and this machine nails the colors 99.5% of the time.
In sum, this is an exiting piece of equipment made accessible, sadly, by the collapse of commercial film processing.
I mentioned this previously as an alternative to the Frontier. Fujifilm vs Kodak. It’s sad nobody produce these and that the know how has disappeared, but then would they exist new at $2000 a piece? The used refurbished market from these seems to be the way to buy what cost much more initially.
