paul_sharratt Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 I have many rolls of 2 1/4 film that are cut in strips of 3 with 4 images on each strip. Is there a way to place them on a filmholder for the Nikon 9000 without cutting the strips down to 3 images per strip.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean_mcgroty Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 What is the frame size? Only 6x4.5 can be placed 4 at a time. Don't even try it with a longer strip, the clips at the end of the clamps will punch holes in the sides of the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marek_fogiel Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 If you undo the regular MF film holder and get a slice of the anti newton glass to put on top of film, you can accommodate longer film strips, although you have to be careful not to scan the 3rd shot, but to invert the strip after the second frame, invert, and scan the other 2 frames - this way you do not risk that the lid of the carriage bends your sticking out film. Also, remember to remove the right screw in the holder, to avoid buckling the film. There are sellers of these AN glass inserts in the market - check on the net.

Ed_Ingold Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 A Nikon LS-9000 will scan up to four 6x4.5cm shots in one batch, three 6x6cm frames, two 6x7 frames and (almost) 1 6x9cm frames (max 83mm). If you have to cut your film, leave at least two frames per stip - it's really hard to align a single frame unless you use a rotating glass holder. If you want sharp scans from corner to corner with 120 film, you must use a glass holder (if you can find one). If you decide to make one, make sure you don't shoot through AN glass - the pattern is resolvable by the scanner. In the OEM holder, the bottom glass is clear but with an anti-reflection coating.
