    Introduction The KODAK Professional RFS 3570 Film Scanner combines high resolu- tion, high speed, and scanning of a variety of film formats from 35 mm to 70 mm (RFS “3570”), in one easy-to-operate desktop scanner. Once you’ve scanned the image (color negative, color transparency, or black-and-white negative) you can view it as a color or monochrome image.
