Here is a newly posted video on the CUImagin scanner.
Internet find of a startup building a multiformat film scanner…
Does anyone have any feedback on this machine? I am thinking about buying one. Please talk me out of it! Or into it.
@vintagefilm hesitate to comment without knowing what is your intended mission.
Here are links to native and/or effective pixel numbers from scanners specs.

Current mission is 8mm/s8mm for a potential client with a largish volume. I have a 16/35 Cintel now for those (16/35) formats. Client’s best specs are 2k or so, so this Axion meets his needs, and mine as well. So as an alternative to Cintel 8/16, I think this might work. The price point is attractive, but I am not sure what I am giving up to save that money.
@vintagefilm glad I asked, as I thought that the question was related to the MotionScan machine (the previous post).
I would note that the Axion provides two different sets of effective resolutions, one as default setup, and the other as Advanced setup.
The default setup works similar to the Cintel, as the camera does not move. The Advance setup, appears to zoom or move the camera to have 8mm at a higher resolution.
