Professional 35 mm film scanning
Preserve every detail of your analogue photographs
The Plustek OpticFilm 8300i Ai transforms 35 mm negatives and slides into high-resolution digital files, combining dedicated optics, professional colour calibration and advanced image restoration tools.
From physical archive to a lasting digital collection
Recover photographs stored for decades, reveal details hidden in the shadows and create files ready for archiving, editing, printing and sharing.
Less dust and fewer scratches
The integrated infrared channel works with SilverFast iSRD to automatically detect and reduce imperfections on colour negatives and slides.
Calibrated colour
The advanced IT8 target helps create an accurate colour profile, reducing differences between the scanned image, the monitor and the printed result.
Designed exclusively for 35 mm negatives and slides
Unlike a general-purpose flatbed scanner, the OpticFilm 8300i Ai uses an optical system dedicated to film scanning. This specialised design captures greater definition, smoother tonal transitions and more consistent detail.
The negative holder accommodates strips of up to six frames, while the mounted slide holder accommodates up to four slides, with manual advancement for individual control of every scan.

Image restoration without hours of manual retouching
The scanner performs an RGB scan and a second infrared scan. The software identifies areas affected by dust and minor scratches and applies correction only where defects are detected.
Multi-Exposure technology improves the reading of highlights and shadows, reduces noise and increases the image information available for further editing.
Two software environments for different workflows
Choose between a fast, straightforward experience and a professional set of tools for detailed control over colour, exposure and archiving.
SilverFast Ai Studio 9
Professional software with automatic IT8 calibration, Multi-Exposure, iSRD, NegaFix, a 16-bit histogram, advanced editing modes and support for creating HDRi files.
Plustek QuickScan Plus
A simplified interface for quickly scanning, adjusting and exporting images to external applications for editing, archiving or sharing.
Compatibility and usage considerations
This device scans only 35 mm film and slides. It does not scan printed photographs, A4 documents or 120 medium-format film. Infrared dust and scratch removal is not suitable for traditional black-and-white negatives with silver-halide emulsion.
