How to scan 4 2/14 frames with 9000 film holder


Recommended Posts

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.

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.
