Hasselblad Flextight X1 Scanner, 6300 dpi Optical Resolution (35mm Film), 60MB/Min Scan Speed

The Flextight X1 model should serve most photographers' needs. Quality is unsurpassed, it is fast and it can take care of most kinds of originals. And, as with any other scanner in this family, it is easy to use.

• 6300dpi maximum resolution
• Up to 60MB/min
• Software batch scanning capabilities
• Software based dust removal facility

Up to 6300 dpi
6300 dpi is more than you need in most cases and even though you can find scanners with higher optical resolution you will not find better clarity and detail rendition when scanning photographic film. This is due to the electronic handling of the sensor, the mechanical precision as well as the quality of filters and the resolving power of the Rodenstock lens.

Up to 60 MB per minute
The Flextight X1 is an unusually efficient scanner that will carry out most tasks quickly and easily. The easy to mount FlexHolder system produces a very high throughput. As the electronics run at a low frequency, no Peltier cooling device is needed.

Batch scanning capabilities
With the FlexHolder system you either mount several originals in one holder or a film strip of 4 or 6 images. In that way you can utilize the advanced batch scanning capabilities scanning up to 6 images in one go. Alternatively, you can utilize the unique 3F scanning feature.

The 3F file and workflow
If you mount a film strip and press the 3F auto scan button the scanner will automatically detect and crop each image and save it with different names. The images are scanned in a specified resolution at 16 bit per color. In this way the full range of the original is extracted from the scan. The 3F file is never altered but will act as a preview scan when you open it later and you can re-do all operations and change whatever parameter you like. This is exactly like re-scanning but without the film original present.

The New 3F Auto Scan button
With the new Flextight scanners it is possible to obtain the finest quality scan with one click of a button - literally! As a new feature we have placed a button on the scanner itself and just by pressing that one button you can create all the quality you need. So now we can really say that scanning has never been easier!

Freedom of choice
The freedom not to have to choose between digital or film, for instance. The freedom to use whatever capture medium works best for a particular shoot or situation. And whether you choose to shoot film because the elements are against you or for creative reasons, with the new generation of Hasselblad scanners you know that you'll be able to get your images safely into the digital world - wherever they began - with every subtle detail embedded in your negatives and slides accurately reproduced.

Sharpness and resolution
Even though you can find scanners with larger sensors you will not find better clarity and detail rendition when scanning photographic film. That is due to the electronic handling of the sensor, the mechanical precision as well as the quality of filters and the resolving power of the Rodenstock lens. The Flextight scanners are not only a piece of art, but they offer the highest image quality and scanning solutions.

Keeping it cool
Heat reduction solutions are another example of features not found on lower range scanners. By removing the power supply outside the scanner and using a cold cathode light tube, which produces very little infrared waves, Hasselblad scanners eliminate two common sources of heat-related noise. Our X5 scanner even has active sensor cooling, which means that an electronic cooling device is placed directly on the CCD, which increases signal to noise ration by 1 to 2 bits.
