Scanning,
whether from transparencies, negatives or reflectives was once an occupation
on its own. Nowadays more and more photographers are finding the need to
include this activity in their workflow. There are many reasons why a high-end
scanner can be seen as an integral part of a photographer's equipment today.
Having a device that has the quality to reproduce all the subtle details embedded in your negatives and transparencies and which gives you full control over the crucial interpretation of your work is what makes a Hasselblad scanner attractive. Your valuable originals are never out of your custody and you are the one who decides when to do what and how. You are the one in control!
Flextight scanners are all built to the same formula. A vertical optical system allows the CCCCD to face downwards creating a glass-free optical path between the original and the lens. The patented virtual drum solution produces optimal focusing across the whole of the original and the flexible holder guarantees easy mounting combined with a safe and cautious handling of your originals.
The components in Flextight scanners are very much the same making the quality between the devices comparable. Differences between the models are more a matter of features and capabilities, the most important factor probably being productivity!
Regarding productivity, the top model allows different feeding devices to be attached; the Batch Feeder for mixed originals and the Slide Feeder for scanning of mounted slides. Using these devices and the 3F workflow can produce a throughput that has to be seen to be believed.
The X5:
The Flextight X5 is the top model in the Flextight scanner series providing the best of all worlds. Ease of use, incomparable quality, unique, batch-scanning facilities all packed in a classical and characteristic design.
Up to 8000 dpi
The very high quality Kodak CCCCD is an 8000+ pix sensor. Even though you can find scanners with larger sensors you will not find better clarity and detail rendition when scanning photographic film. That is due to the electronic handling of the sensor, the mechanical precision as well as the quality of filters and the resolving power of the Rodenstock lens.
Up to 300 MB per minute
Running the electronics at this speed demands a great deal from the internal design and is also a challenge in terms of heat generation. Therefore the Flextight X5 scanners are equipped with a Peltier cooling device on the CCCCD itself. In this way heat is controlled which avoids compromising the quality of the scans.
Dust removal features
The scanner is equipped with a light condenser eliminating the effect of small dust particles, which are normally invisible unless you zoom 100% into your image. They can be the most annoying and time-consuming part of scanning but they are removed without losing speed or quality. Additionally, you can add the FlexTouch dust removal feature which will remove dust and small scratches without having any impact on the sharpness at all.
Batch and Slide Feeder capabilities
By attaching the Batch- or Slide Feeder it is now possible to set up an automatic scanning workflow. The Batch Feeder allows up to 60 originals to be scanned, unattended. The Batch Feeder can take most kinds of transparencies and they are automatically recognized and scanned according to pre-defined specifications. The Feeder holds up to 50 slides, which can be scanned in one batch. The files produced can either be final TIFF files cropped and corrected or saved as raw 3F files, which can be opened and corrected just if they were initial scans.
The 3F file and workflow
When selecting the 3F file format as automatic scan mode the images are
scanned in a specified resolution at 16 bits per color. In this way the
full range of the original is extracted from the scan. The 3F file is never
altered but will act as a »preview scan« when you open it later and you
can re-do all operations and change whatever parameter you like. This is
exactly like re-scanning but without the film original present. Furthermore
- every time you save a file from the 3F format the history of your decisions
is embedded inside the 3F file, which will enable you to repeat whatever
you have been doing whenever you like.
The New 3F Auto Scan button
With the new Flextight scanners it is possible to obtain the finest quality
scan with one click of a button - literally! As a new feature we have placed
a button on the scanner itself and just by pressing that one button you
can create all the quality you need. So now we can really say that scanning
has never been easier!
