Re: filmscanners: Prime Film Scanner1800u
I cannot address bugs or compatibility. The Primescan 1800u is a USB
interfaced scanner, and is apparently made by a Mictrotek subsidiary.
The scan quality, for the price (new), is reasonable. In fact it is
better overall than some of the 2400 dpi models sold (Tamarak, etc)
It uses a clam-shell design, and film movement is manual (no motors).
You can scan a frame anywhere in a roll, including an uncut roll.
I don't know of anyone on this list who is using one, but maybe a lurker
might have some experience with it with a Mac.
