Epson has announced the launch of F-3200, a dedicated multi-format film scanner that offers a cost-effective and high quality film scanning solution. The scanner is aimed at professionals and experienced amateur photographers who want to scan their film quickly without sacrificing quality. It is also ideal for photographers who want to digitise their film archive or who still shoot in film but wish to create digital images for manipulation and printing.
The Epson F-3200 is a versatile product that allows professionals and experienced amateurs to quickly scan reflective prints of up to 4” x 6” in addition to 35mm film through to 5” x 4” sheet film. Compatible with either a PC or Mac, the Epson F-3200 features advanced software that enables photographers to scan 35mm and medium format film in batches and at the same time remove dust and scratches from images. The built-in LCD screen allows photographers to preview scanned images quickly and easily.
The Epson F-3200 is the first film scanner to support a built-in memory card reader, allowing users to scan directly to memory cards for additional ease of use.
Khalil El-Dalu, General Manager, Epson Middle East, said, “The affordable price of the Epson F-3200 makes it possible for professionals and experienced amateur photographers to scan a variety of film formats themselves, by-passing the professional lab altogether. Not only is this more convenient, it also offers a cost effective option for photographers who need to scan a large archive of multi-film formats. With the increasing trend among amateur and professional photographers in the Middle East digitising their film we believe this product will have a huge impact on the Middle East market.”
