OpticFilm 120 Pro Notes (06)
Plustek OpticFilm 120 Pro Scanner
Screenshot during use of the Plustek Lens Calibration Tool.
Last step is selecting the desired focus setting and click "Apply". You hear a noise in the scanner for a short time so something must then be happening.
The factory setting is the 0 focus setting scan but in this case I did choose the +5 focus setting on purpose because I did want to see proof that the focal point had changed in a Silverfast scan.
What can I say, the factory setting was already the best and indeed the Silverfast scan after the move to the +5 focus setting did return a softer result. So the focus setting system more or less seems to work.
At least now it is possible to correct the focal point (per holder type) in a Plustek OF 120 scanner though I must say that I would have preferred an integration of the focus offset into the Silverfast Scanning software as I have seen been done with other scanners (e.g. Nikon).
Maybe something for a next update !
A possible alternative would be another Plustek program were you can quickly make a choice between the 11 settings without the time consuming need of performing 11 sample scans. Should not be too hard to develop that and many of us would be very happy indeed !!
