Over the last few months I have been reviewing all the equipment I have and prioritising what I do need and what I dont. I am shooting a lot of digital now and film when I really think the lighting better suits it.
So next on the chopping block is my Imacon 343 Flextight scanner. I have owned this since new and you would be the second owner. When not in use it has always been covered and has sat on my work desk all it’s life.
The scanner was bought from Pro Scan and it is outside of it’s warranty period.
The scanner comes in it’s original box and padding. Along with 5 scanning plates. (three came with the scanner and the additional ones I have is the 35mm strip plate and the 6 x 17 plate) and the FlexColor software. So you can scan anything from 35mm through to 6 x 17.
All the work on my web site has been scanned with this scanner. It can scan up to 3200dpi in both 8 or 16 bit.
Selling for $5500. The purchase price for this was just over $10 grand.
If your a business check with the ATO as buying this may qualify for the 30% tax rebate as it is an asset. (ends this financial year)
This model is no longer in production and the cheapest version of a new Imacon you can now buy new is the X1 and that’s around $25 grand I believe.
The scanner can still be serviced / repaired by Pro Scan in Sydney, so there is no worry about parts or after sale service.
The scanner is in perfect working order.
For further details please call me on 0414 374 533 or email info@mattlauder.com.au
Will only send via traceable courier in Australia or if overseas buyer by FedEx at buyers expense.












Will this scan prints?
As I understand it you can’t get the 30% on second hand puchases.

Hi Sharon, that’s for letting me know it only applies to new purchases. Makes sense that is does.
To answer your question this scanner will only scan film.
