Same, same, but different
The new generation of Hasselblad scan- ners, the Flextight X1 and X5, are both built around the same foundation. A vertical optical system allows the CCD to face downwards, creating a glass- free optical path between the original and the lens. The patented virtual drum solution produces optimal focusing across the entire original and the flex- ible holder guarantees easy mounting and safe and secure handling of your originals. The components used in both Flextight scanners are basically the same, meaning that whichever solution you choose, the quality level is virtually identical. Differences between the models are more a matter of features and capabilities, especially with regards to productivity.

Hasselblad scanners: freedom from 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 situ- ation. 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 imag- es safely into the digital world – wherever they began – with every subtle detail embedded in your negs and chromes accurately reproduced.
The Flextight X5 is the top model in the Flextight scanner series providing the best of all worlds. Ease of use, incom- parable quality, unique, batch scanning facilities all packed in a classical and characteristic design.
Key features:
-8000dpi maximum resolution
-Up to 300MB/min.
-Optional feeders for maximum productivity
-Hardware and software based dust removal facility
-Simplified workflow with 3F Auto Scan button
Productivity
Naturally, the extraordinary scanning speed of the Flextight X5 plays a key part in increasing your productivity.
The benefits don’t stop there, however. Various feeding devices, for example, can be attached; the Batch Feeder for mixed originals and the Slide Feeder for scanning of mounted slides. Using these devices together with the 3F workflow produces a throughput that has to be seen to be believed.
