Oh, yeah - I loved the results from my Coolscan. But exactly as jacy points out - time is one of things that are just too precious. 4 minutes for an entire roll of 36 is a game changer. I feel I'm getting excellent resolution and easily-graded color from my camera-based workflow.

If you don't already have one, it doesn't make as much sense for sure. I already had a mirrorless, so piecing together a kit with a macro lens and a light wasn't as big of a deal.
On the other hand, considering how expensive a coolscan is now, it's cheaper to buy a full frame camera used.

Good review, Bill. Once I started scanning with camera, I never looked back. I had Epson, Nikon Coolscan, Plustek, and others and gave up on all of them, eventually. The biggest saving is TIME.

just learned about the Nikon Coolscan LS-10, a film scanner that connected via SCSI and was meant for installation in a 5.25" drive bay

No progress on the Nikon besides more troubleshooting/testing. I wasso sure if I posted to the Coolscan group on Facebook someone would tell me it's the Firewire chips (which doesn't make any sense) and sure enough that was the first reply. Thanks.

Ahhh, decades later and Nikon forum mentality never changes.
Hope you get your Coolscan issues sorted out without too much trouble 💜

does anyone have experience working with the Nikon Coolscan LS-2000? i have a semi-nonworking one that i'd love to get working, but don't really know where to start with diagnosing what's wrong
(shows up on SCSI, doesn't error, but scan does nothing)

Hasselblad back interface arrived, going to use this as the back for my custom scanning camera, with the Coolscan lens in the Copal 3 on the other end of the bellows

The value in 120 is pretty much unbeatable, IMHO. All Kodak color negative film, in my experience, leans a little warm, but of course one can edit it to be anything one wants. Here's a 120 example: flic.kr/p/2qFSqA6

haven't tried or seen someone use a coolscan lens specifically but i have adpted other process lenses (like the kodak printing ektars) and it's totally doable to digital. the flange depth on those process lenses is pretty large so there's room for a copal. not sure about the coolscan

just had a very cursed idea: has anyone ever tried mounting a lens from a coolscan 8000/9000 on a large format copal shutter?

So the line of thought I have here is that I’m curious how scanning film will look with the big CCD on the Leaf Aptus. The image circle of the Coolscan lens will cover the Aptus’ CCD perfectly (60mm diameter), but it needs a mechanical shutter

I have a friend's Coolscan for slides, but the scans look kind of weird, might the bulb need replacing?
I really have to push the software to get them to look right.

I just ordered a plustek 8300ai for work to replace two Coolscans that finally gave out. I have been using the V850 but that's not as good imho as the Coolscan. V750 and 850 are great for sheet film though. I still have a Coolscan at home that I use
