Kent Shafer Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 I used to have a Nikon 9000 connected to an old Windows Vista machine used only for scanning. When the Nikon died, I sent the whole shebang off to recycled-electronics-heaven and bought a Plustek 120. While I liked the Nikon better, the Plustek works fine, and I now have lots more free space on my desk. Life goes on, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pablo_escobar Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Excuse me for going off on a slight tangent here, but: With the current (supposed) resurgence of film photography, do people believe there is a chance Nikon/Canon release a new film scanner? It's really a pity that an entire segment of a (admittedly minuscule) marker basically does not exist anymore. I'd be on a Nikon Coolscan 10000 in a heartbeat! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbon_dragon Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 I think Nikon would think it would be kind of a negative prestige thing to do -- branding itself as trying to look backward instead of forward. I don't think that is the case but I think they would perceive it that way. Course Nikon did do the S3 2000 so maybe it's not impossible, but I think the chances are slim. Some photography company might see a niche they could fill though. Did Canon ever do film scanners? Minolta did, but they were assimilated into the Sony collective. Resistance was futile. :eek: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Ingold Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 (edited) f you have a digital camera with at least 24 MP resolution, you can buy a macro lens and 35 mm slide/film holder for a fraction of the cost of a film scanner and achieve the same resolution and quality. It is also much faster, 5-10 rolls/hour compared to 1-2 hours/roll. Negative film is more difficult, due to the uncertainty of converting to positive images.I use Silverfast HDR for this conversion, but it can be done manually too. Slides are easy - what you see is what you get. You can even improve the exposure and color in the process. There aren't convenient tools, like a Nikon ES-2 copying attachment, for larger film formats. A copy stand with a light table is probably the best, but I make do with a Novoflex focusing rail with a film copying attachment. This is a medium format shot I took overlooking Telluride, CO, probably on Fuji Reala. The copy was made using a Sony A7Rii, 42 MP, using a Nikon 55/2.8 MicroNikkor lens.

Supriyo Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Did Canon ever do film scanners? Yes, its called CanoScan. I have one. Its slow (USB 1.1) but gets the job done, and needless to say out of production long back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy Vongries Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Actually, the CanoScan 9000F Model 2 isn't bad if you clean the slides or negatives well and get an extra negative holder to improve the workflow. Relatively inexpensive. Scanner Review: CanoScan 9000F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlennS Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 For anyone using a digital camera and Lightroom to process colour negatives there’s an action to automate this. Negative Lab Pro I’ve not tried it yet, but certainly will soon, for now a CS-5000 running on 64 bit windows 7 is doing the job. Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard_golonka Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 does anyone know how long it takes to run an uncut roll of 36 through the new primefilm XAs at 300ppi with no digital ice or focus adjustments? How about the same, but at 4000ppi and digital ice and any other recommended multisampling things? Does this work well? Does it always find the frames accurately when doing this? Is the focus on point most of the time? I am sure the quality is fine, as I really just share on the web and sometimes do darkroom prints. I just need to an easier was to preview my negatives. I dont relaly care if it takes 2 hours to process a full roll, if I could get it set quickly, get it started and walk away. I want to use this to make small files and then do the "print contact sheet" method in windows. Except I like the wallet size contact sheets with 6 images on an 8x10. If I was able to spend 5 min getting this set up for an entire roll and then walk away it would be fantastic. I have a coolscan v ed LS 50 and it is great, but if this were able to do the same thing but scan a full roll all at once I would consider it. I am also considering flatbed for this, and have another thread. Although I am a bit perplexed why no one else seems to have this issue. Perhaps its because I have so little time to spend on photography, that even 1 hour in the evening spent wrestling my coolscan is far too much. I have time to take photos and occasionally do darkroom prints, which is the only reason I shoot film. I would share more digitally, and want to, but there is just no way to do that right now it seems, that is both quick and painless and inexpensive.

JDMvW Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 see CanoScan 9000F vs. CanoScan FS 4000US The 4000 Canoscan does a true 4000 pixels per inch (few do better but some do faster) -it takes 'fast SCSI' or USB so interface is a real problem The 9000F Canoscan really does only 2000 to 3000 ppi, despite claims to the contrary. Good enough for internet and P.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDMvW Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 9000F is more like 2000 spi. Some say only 1600ppi, but I was being 'generous' given claims of 9600 and such-like. See the discussion in the post at the link above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaymondC Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I had posted this in another forum Forums>Equipment>Nikon Hello, after 10+ years my nikon IV ED is giving me trouble, took it to a repair shop here in Brazil and they said they can't fix it. we're going to Germany in december. Anyone recommend a repair shop in Germany? Anyone know Dostal & Rudolf GmbH in München? We'll be near Nuremberg and Bamberg. Thank you very much!! Go to this Facebook page or google it, 2 individuals repair them in the USA affordably. Frank and Gleb. Nikon Coolscan Users Failing that: Frank, REPAIR of NIKON COOLSCAN Full Restoration Service for IV V 4000 5000 scanners | eBay Gleb Service and Repair of Nikon Coolscan Scanners I managed to get my CS4000 repaired after 6yrs in storage. I did buy it used after they were discontinued. There is a fella in the Netherland but they might not be as comprehensive with diff issues / causes. There is also a guy called Alex in the USA who might be a former Nikon Engineer but he's v expensive, no component repair and simply swap parts out, maybe he got a stash of parts when he retired from them....

I myself and many others ship our scanners to them with international freight. It is really just 5 working day delivery. A lot of jut don't have any one who can repair them like here in New Zealand. I was able to send them just the motherboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
