tim_b Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Hi all, I will be in Kuala Lumpur over the weekend and was wondering whether anyone knows a place there to buy a film scanner, say Nikon Coolscan V, and how competitive the price would be. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig_Cooper11664875449 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I live in Singapore and the 135mm format Nikon scanners arent available anywhere here that Ive seen, and are more or less non available globally - check the recent archives on the topic! Im currently in the market for the Coolscan 9000 and even that looks like my only option is ordering from somewhere like B&H in New York. You might be lucky but I certainly wouldnt hold my breath for finding one... By the way, within the region the best deals on this sort of equipment are usually found in Hong Kong.

tim_b Posted November 27, 2006 Author Share Posted November 27, 2006 Thanks Craig, that at least makes me less likely to visit Singapore! I'm in Bangkok and have seen the scanners here but at a premium over the B&H price. Hong Kong may well be the answer. But still hoping that someone from KL could reply.

Craig_Cooper11664875449 Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Tim,<p>Seeing no one else has replied, I took the liberty of paraphrasing your request and reposting here <a href="http://www.offstone.com/photo/showthread.php?p=98783#post98783">Paraphrased Repost</a>. This is a Singaporean based site that has a degree of Malaysian patronage or at least knowledge by the locals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alberto_stanga Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Hi Craig, as I've the same workflow _only BW film_scan_PS7_, just to ask you why do you consider the Nikon 5000/9000 series? How do their led lights fit with trad. BW films? I'll also change my DSE5400, and as veuscan supports the 9000, and as it'd be an "upgrade" for me in term of film flatness, if there'd be in real world no tech. reasons vs Led light, that'd be fine. Your photography is always a plunge for me. Regards and thanks. al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
