Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Dunno, but when you get time give a detailed review. It is the only somewhat affordable option out there for scanning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will help retain as much quality as possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Ruzicka Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 I scanned this home-movie I made with the retroscan universal 2k at full scanner resolution then cropped to 1080p, here is the result. I might not have used enough lighting when scanning, some areas are to noisy for my taste but then again I did not use the capturing software's de-noising setting.

Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 (edited) Looked at film at highest res on YT. Looked pretty good, especially since it was done with a relatively inexpensive scanner. Nice to see sharp grain in your scans. Some of the commercial scans I see have blurry grain. Looks like they don't have the film in focus. They must just slap on the reel and hit record. Edited November 12, 2018 by Daniel D.
