<p>Hi,<br>

Many people contributing to this thread have these scanners working under Windows 7. But if you mean is Nikon working on a solution, the answer is no, as follows:</p>

<p>"Can I use my Nikon Scanner with Windows 7, Leopard, Snow Leopard, or a 64-bit operating system? </p>

<p id="rn_solution"><th id="label__14" > </th>

<td id="content__14" > </td>

The use of Nikon Scan software with Windows 7 (any version), or Mac OS 10.5.x or later, or any 64- bit operating system (including 64-bit, 32-bit or Compatibility mode) is not supported.<br>

We suggest trying a third party software option such as Vuescan from Hamrick.com or Silverfast software."</p>

<p>Hi,<br>

Just follow Steel's instructions as he gave in the first post up to and including Step 2. Then make a copy of his Scanners.inf file (just in case). Call it Scanners.old or some such name. <br>

Then copy and paste this line (including the quote at the beginning):<br>

"Nikon LS-5000" = USBScanner,USB\Vid_04b0&Pid_4002<br>

From the [Models] section to the [Models.ntamd64] section, just I have shown above. Just paste it after the LS-2000 line entry (as shown in my post), and then save this file as Scanners.inf.<br>

Then continue with Steel's instructions Step 3 and Step 4, and Windows will correctly identify the LS-5000ED driver when you do the update step.<br>

I hope this helps.<br>

<p>Hi,<br>

I had the same problem. If you read my post just above, you will see that you need to edit Steel's scanner.inf file, changing it to include the 5000ED information in a second section [Models.ntamd64]<br>

After you do this, Vista should recognize the 5000ED. Now, I did not do this with Visat x64, but with Windows 7 x64, but I Vista would work as well.</p>

<p>I enjoy scanning film: <br>

1) I scan high resolution, fine grained, MF (6x7) B&W on a Nikon 9000 (APX 25, Rollei ATP and Panatomic-X) and I find the results are wonderful. I still get to choose my developer and fine tune the whole process until I get what I want.<br>

2) I scan my father's 40 year archive of E6 and K-14 35mm transparencies in batches on a Nikon 5000ED/SF-210 to share with our family. This is rewarding in a different but no less satisfying way.<br>

<p>Another follow-up to my own post ;-<br>

I have the LS-5000 and the LS-9000 both running on Windows 7 x64 RTM. I had to make a small edit to Steel's ini file, copying the LS-5000 into the [Models.ntamd64] section as follows:<br>

[Models.ntamd64]<br />; USB scanners<br />"Nikon LS-10" = SCSIScanner,SCSI\ScannerNikon___COOLSCAN________<br />"Nikon LS-20" = SCSIScanner,SCSI\ScannerNIKON___COOLSCAN_II_____<br />"Nikon LS-1000" = SCSIScanner,SCSI\ScannerNIKON___LS-1000_________<br />"Nikon LS-30" = SCSIScanner,SCSI\ScannerNIKON___COOLSCANIII_____<br />"Nikon LS-2000" = SCSIScanner,SCSI\ScannerNIKON___LS-2000_________<br />"Nikon LS-5000" = USBScanner,USB\Vid_04b0&Pid_4002<br />; Other SCSI Scanners (type 6)<br />"SCSI Scanner" = SCSIScanner,GenScanner<br />"SCSI Scanner" = SCSIScanner,SCSI\GenScanner<br />; Firewire scanners<br />"Firewire Scanner" = SBP2Scanner,SBP2\GenScanner<br />"Nikon SUPER COOLSCAN 8000 ED" = SBP2Scanner_NIKON,SBP2\NIKON___&LS-8000_ED______&CMDSETID104D8<br />"Nikon SUPER COOLSCAN 9000 ED" = SBP2Scanner_NIKON,SBP2\NIKON___&LS-9000_ED______&CMDSETID104D8<br>

Otherwise, windows would not install the driver. With that change, the LS-5000 driver installed correctly. Both Vuescan and Nikonscan are working correctly, although I am still testing some of the more complicated batch scanning setups.</p>

<p>Following up on my own post, I can confirm that Vuescan works as well, at least for simple scans. Now I have to copy over all my various *.ini files for all my film types, and the associated color target data, and see if all of that works correctly. It should, since all of that is internal to Vuescan. <br>

Thanks, Steel.<br>

<p>I can confirm that Steel's method, exactly as the first post, works for Windows 7 RTM x64 (legit copy; I have a Technet sub). Next I am going to see if Vuescan works.<br>

Thanks,<br>

<p>In our lab we have an on demand RO/DI system to dispense DI water, but I need to purchase my photo water as "steam distilled" (at least in Canada) :-) I have found the EI of ATP 1.1 to be:<br>

12 using Rollei RLC at 6 minutes with a Pentax 67II/165mm/K2<br>

16 using Formulary TD-3 (modified) at 21 minutes with a Pentax 67II/165mm/K2<br>

I guess I won't be shooting moving trains with this, but the detail and "scanability" of this film is amazing. <br>
