Hi,

>for these purposes? If so I would really appreciate some tips..... Thanks,
At the last Gordon conference, I talked about first impression of the
Nikon coolscan 8000.
There are good points and bad points.
Good points:
1. price
2. modest resolution. comparable to Leafscan 45.
Bad points:
1. The holder comes with the scanner is too small.
Therefore, the film can not be rotated.
2. Not so good resolution as highend scanners.
As for the holder, I have been asking to modify a holder to Nikon
Engineering factory ( Japanese name is Nikon-Gijutsu-Kohbo ).
The person, I am contacting is Okada.Masashi at nikonoa.net . The holder is
still prototype, but sending e-mail to him will push the development.
Best regards.
