SCANNERS

Having a device that has the quality to reproduce all the
subtle details embedded in your negatives and transparen-
cies and which gives you full control over the crucial inter-
pretation of your work is what makes a Hasselblad scanner
attractive. Your valuable originals are never out of your cus-
tody 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 verti-
cal optical system allows the CCD to face downwards creat-
ing 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 exible
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 fea-
tures and capabilities, the most important factor probably
being productivity!
Regarding productivity, the top model allows different feed-
ing devices to be attached; the Batch Feeder for mixed origi-
nals and the Slide Feeder for scanning of mounted slides.
Using these devices and the 3F workow can produce a
throughput that has to be seen to be believed.
Scanning, whether from transparencies,
negatives or reectives was once an occu-
pation on its own. Nowadays more and
more photographers are nding the need to
include this activity in their workow.
There are many reasons why a high-end
scanner can be seen as an integral part of
a photographer’s equipment today.
