200 amazing MB per minute and that includes saving the file to disc. This kind of speed has only previously been seen with photo lab scanners scanning filmstrips. But what does it actually mean? Look at the scheme on the right hand side
As you can see from the pictures on the right, the diffuse light source has a significant impact on reducing the visibility of dust and scratches. The original shown is VERY scratched. The sharpness of the high-end scanner picks up every detail (Picture 1 High-End scanner). The Flextight 949 masks almost all artifacts in a normal image and most of the artifacts that you see in this particular damaged original without sacrificing the image sharpness (Picture 2 Flextight 949). If you then add the revised FlexTouch dust and scratch removal tool (Picture 3 Flextight 949 + FlexTouch) it works as well as some scanners which use time consuming infra red scans to do the same. Do you also notice the impact on the grain structure of the film? The image looks much smoother on the 949, which again gives you the ability to add more digital sharpness without risking grainy scans. Flextight 949 + FlexTouch High-end scanner

Flextight 949

A virtue which goes with the Imacon Flextight family is the durability. A simple but very solid construction has made its mark and today we have thousands of Flextight scanners working steadily along, providing their users with high quality scans day in and day out. However, with the significant speed improvements of the 949, we have optimized the mechanical construction. This scanner has the potential to scan 10 times the amount of images that can be scanned by an early Flextight. We have assured that the mechanics are prepared for that.

Negative Scanning

Flextight flexibility
Turn the scanner into a real workhorse by mounting one of the two optional batch feeders.
Many photographers choose Imacon Flextight scanners because of the outstanding image quality they obtain from negative originals. With its improved light source, the Flextight 949 is the ultimate tool for negative scanning, with better blue channel rendition and fewer artifacts.

Batch Scanning

To scan many originals in a single operation, attach one of the two available batch feeders. The standard batch feeder holds up to 10 FlexHolders, such as those that come with the scanner, thereby enabling you to scan up to 60 originals in each batch. The mounted-slide feeder lets you scan up to 50 35mm mounted slides per batch.
