AutoFilmLoading WILL save you time when converting years of negatives to digital format

byMarc_Matthews Jul 24, 2002

Pros Auto Film Loading, USB, small footprint, seperate slide handling window
Cons No support for any format other than 35mm, and sometimes the film gets stuck
Recommended it? Yes

Several years ago, I made the switch to digital photography and have never looked back. I have now have gigabytes of beautiful, clear digital pictures. Oh how I wished there was a GOOD, EASY way to take the years of film-based pictures and turn them into digital format...

Sure, I've tried... Read full review »

Jury still out...

Pros Automatic film loading
Cons Only works for 35mm, no automatic handling of slides, no ICE
Recommended it? No

The software is pretty easy and clear to use and I would recommend this product if it produced good scans, but I can't because it doesn't. I don't think it is focusing on the surface of the film correctly. I'm pursuing technical support, but the website is slow, slow, slow and I haven't seen any... Read full review »

Pros Very cost effective & comes with Photoshop!
Cons Slower than Molasses at the north pole

Software
>>Rating = 10
How many times have you bought a scanner to find the software is just barely enough to scan the images and your not able to do any editing/color correcting unless you use a second program that is not provided to edit? IMHO, too often, so when I saw this scanner had... Read full review »

Pros Autofocus
Cons Usually doesn't work.
Recommended it? No

I've spent a week, three hours a day installing and removing and reinstalling the TWO softwares. Occasionally the unit scanned slides, but never negatives. I had to cut my negatives and mount them as slides. The colours never matched the slides.

You must first load Adobe Photo Elements... Read full review »

Good for the price

Pros Decent scans, easy to use, trouble-free installation
Cons Autofocus not always perfect, soft images
Recommended it? Yes

I paid about $250 for mine, had it 3 weeks, then returned it and will be receiving my 3600 PRO shortly. One thing that surprised me a little bit is that even though this scanner is one of the faster ones out there, scanning slides and film is a very time-consuming process! It requires quite a bit...

Not worth the money

Pros It hasn't damaged any film or slides yet.
Cons Bad tonal range, dark scans (especially B&W film), drivers frequently hang forcing a...
Recommended it? No

This scanner is a stinker. The first one I recieved would not load the film. The replacement would if the film was forced. Overall the images (including slides) are really dark. Trying to lighten them up looses contrast. I have to put way too much photoshop effort into fixing the scans. After about... Read full review »

Don't buy this.

Pros When working scanned slides fairly well.
Cons Did not work most of the time.
Recommended it? No

I was hoping to convert many slides to digital images to share old memories with family and friends. I installed the software without problems: In fact, I installed it about 20 time during the month and one-half I tried to use it. I would have to re-install because it would crash and have to be...

Adequate and useful scanner

byrandysteck Feb 14, 2005
2 Helpfuls 3 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Easy to use, handles negative strips easily, good value.
Cons Not professional quality, but that's not what you paid for, is it?
Recommended it? Yes

I've had this unit for about 1.5 years. It is a great compromise between the high end (and high priced) scanners that do a professional job and low-end scanners, including flatbed scanners. It handles negative strips easily. I've had no problems with the drivers, even after upgrading to latest... Read full review »

It'll damage your negatives!

byfabrizi0 Feb 9, 2004
2 Helpfuls 3 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Automatic loading of films (when it works)
Cons Scratch negatives, software set to auto-balancing produces horrible pictures.
Recommended it? No

I have so many negatives to scan, so finally I decided to buy a scanner for negative films. The PF1800 AFL was my first choice, because of (advertised) quality and price.
I paid about $280 at Fry's.
The first unit, doesn't load the film. As much as I can push the film inside, the film... Read full review »

Waste of Money, does not perform

Pros There are none that I can think of.
Cons It just does not work as it should.
Recommended it? No

I originally bought the PF 1800AFL about 4 years ago to scan all my all slides and negatives.

Even when it was new it didn't work very well. It was rubbish at auto-scanning a film strip and didn't come close to detecting the correct gaps between frames.

I havn't bothered with it... Read full review »
