Plustek indicates a scan speed of 40s for a 600ppi scand and 205s for a scan with the nominal resolution of 3600 ppi. Since grey scans have only one colour channel the output reduces to 8 bit or 16 bit, respectively. In 48 bit colour depth scans 16 bit are used for each colour channel instead of 8 bit. The Plustek OpticFilm 135 can produces colour scans both with the usual 24 bit and with 48 bit colour depth. Especially on films with high contrast, with very dark or very bright motives, the small density range has a negative impact. That is a very low value for a film scanner and does not let you expect a good image quality. Plustek indicates a density range of 3,4.
So the nominal resolution of 3600 ppi gives hope that they can be achieved nearly and so artificially blown up scan files ares avoided. With an optical nominal resolution of onlay 3600 ppi Plustek goes a reasonable way, since the OpticFilm scaners of the last years came up with astronomical nominal resolutions, which could not achieved in practice, not even by 50%. The OpticFilm 135 has a LED light source which samples the films line by line with an optic resolution of 3600 ppi. So you get all you need for scanning negatives and slides. There is not more in the small cardbox, and you even don't need more.

In the scope of delivery there is furthermore a power cord, a USB cord and a software DVD and a quick start guide. The slide mount holder can take 4 mounted slides in the film strip holder you can insert a 35mm film strip with a length of up to 6 pictures or 6 singular pictures. There are 2 film holders in the scope of delivery of the scanner. The design is very good with it it excels all other models of the house Plustek. In spite of the small dimensions and the light weight the scanner makes a very solid impression from outside. 1,6kg weight it is very light so that it can be shifted easily and carried to another place. The scanner is very compact with its proportions 175mm x 259mm x 104mm so that it hardly takes place on your desk. The Plustek OpticFilm 135 is delivered in a small cardbox including accessories. Equipment, accessories and performance data of the film scanner
In the following review we have tested the Plustek OpticFilm 135 in detail. With the OpticFilm 135 Plustek goes a totally different way compared to its former film scanners, existing for more than a decade: The Plustek OpticFilm 135 is not delivered with the SilverFast scan software but with an own scan software with the name QuickScan Plus.
#Vuescan plustek 120 upgrade
While the most scanner manufacturers have given up theier scanner production long ago and other manufacturers only upgrade existing models Plustek indeed brought a brand new scanner on the market. The OpticFilm 135, however, is so different, that we do better not consider it as successor of a former device but rather as a really new scanner. Since the Plustek OpticFilm 135 has no automatic dust and scratch removal function according to the technical data sheet, one might consider it as a successor of the Plustek OpticFilm 8100. Furthermore, it was not presented as a successor of an older device but rather as a new, independent one.
#Vuescan plustek 120 series
Thus it can hardly be classified into the former series of OpticFilm scanners. While the 35mm film scanners of Plustek had the same construction for more than a decade the OpticFilm 135 has a brand new case. The nomber 135 makes clear for which film type the scanner has been built, namely for 35mm films. Like the older film scanners also this device is named OpticFilm. After 5 years without news from Plustek in its film scanner area the Plustek company introduced with the OpticFilm 135 a new device on the market in spring 2017.
