Yeah right... those folks could travel back and forth their home and the Plustek office every day.
Ah so much bitterness that it clouds reason...

The whole episode seems rather bizarre. Hope they can get their act together and get the product out.

my pre-order at B&H still stands.
sounds like the scanner is turning a corner.
I am excited as hell. Once the thing starts shipping, this thread is gonna start growing cobwebs, and we'll forget all about it.

Hopefully we'll be able to have a thread where people can post image examples which will be very useful those vacilating over the price.

Saw it at photokina. Looked good. But photokina was a quarter of a year ago...
Even so, I'd prefer a scanner that worked to one that was rushed to market.
Cheers,

Since it can scan up to a 6x12 cm frame, I'm sure that even if it does not include a Widelux format carrier, a means can be contrived to capture the format. I've created carriers for other negative scanners to scan unusual formats this way, it's not too difficult. Just takes a little imagination and some craft work.

"Quick update on the OpticFilm 120. I was just notified last night that the Golden Master discs are being burned! It shouldn't be too long now."

RFF is Fortunate to have Plusteck's Sales Rep Answering Questions
RFF is Fortunate to have Plusteck's Sales Rep Answering Questions
Looking at this thread, some members don't seem to be aware that RFF is fortunate to have mdruziak aka Mark - Plustek's sales rep - answering your questions as best he can.
Some of you are way out of line in your criticism of Mark's posts.
Have any of you ever worked as a sales rep ? that type of job is totally dependent upon the info provided to you by others.
As a sales guy, Mark is aiming to share the info he has available at any given point in time. If that info proves in accurate, don't blame the messenger. Specs and time lines change as circumstances require.
Would the naysayers be happier being totally in the dark about upcoming Plustek products until the day their orders are taken and the scanner shipped ? I doubt it.
So, give Mark a break and be happy for the info he is able to share before the product is fully available ! Film users need companies developing new film products !

The messenger shouldn't be blamed, but the maker (Plustek) arguably deserves criticism, and Mark, as the messenger, has the task to relay the criticism to HQ, since he is the only conduit we have.
Whether or not Plustek deserves the blame/criticism expressed here, of course, is debatable.

I'm thinking that Plustek wants to make money and to that end they are going to bring this to market as soon as they can provide a quality product.
The only feedback that they need right now is from their production line. We need to start a new thread asking for samples.. maybe a bit premature, but this thread is all over the place.

Perhaps they are waiting for Hamrick to optimize Vuescan for the Plustek 120
And offer the option to buy this printer without the croocked Silverfast software
