Concludingly I can put on record that the entry level Nikon scanner outpaces many competitors considering image quality, but that it can't compete the big Nikon LS-5000 ED just as expected. Or does the installation process automatically put those files in the right place? I have a somewhat older dedicated flatbed scanner, and the flatbed scanner in my Canon Pixma TS9120 printer. Of course the Nikon Scan software is outdated, but so is the 5000 ED. The high resolution provides finest details while the wide density range provides a good gradation of colours. I already know what one can deduce from the advertising materials that appear online. Image theft is rife on the Internet. With better equipped or weaker computers the scanning times considerably differ (see the example in my review of the Nikon Super Coolscan 5000 ED). New scanner Nikkor Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass lens. LCD, Video and Photo Gallery images are for illustrative purposes only. So I have found Image Capture on my iMac but when I turn on my scanner, it does not show up as an option to use. I myself prefer working directly with the gradation curves, although setting brightness and contrast could be done more comfortable as well. It's because of Nikons sales policy that potential buyers of the slide feeder SF-210 have to buy the big Super Coolscan 5000. The medical slide holder FH-G1 for medical preparates is available as optional accessory for the Nikon LS-5000 and the Nikon Coolscan 5. By doing so, you can avoid shifting of the film in the mount - a big advantage when processing old wobbly mounts that don't fix the transparency firmly anymore. You can not automatically take over the settings you made for instance for the first image to the remaining images. Ancient, faded images suddenly appear like newly shot, just like restored. You have nothing to lose. The scan software NikonScan offers to the user a multitude of settings to immediately perform a good looking fine scan after the prescan. The fast data transfer is not only needed because of the extensive amount of data but also because the scanner works very quickly, i.e. The APS film adaptor IA-20(S) is available as optional accessory for the Nikon Coolscan V ED, which can be used for scanning whole APS films at once. VueScan have kindly provided a driver for manual installation - and I want to be sure I get it right. With the strip film adaptor SA-21 you'll know the true promise of batch scans the first time. With the strip film adaptor SA-21 you can scan film strips (positive or negative) with 2-6 photos. Or should we just assume the Nikon V scans normal snap shots perfectly and fade to discerning originals like night shots or back light shots? Several functions may not work. There is also modification on the back side of the scanner: the Firewire port IEEE-1394 was sacrificed for the benefit of a USB 2.0 port. If you perform auto focus and auto exposure for every single image the scanning time sums up to 12-20 minutes - enough time leaving the computer workplace and doing something else. The scanner then automatically retracts the film to the right position. When scanning a single image it can of course happen that the whole film has to be winded first, what can take a lot of time if you want to scan frame #3 and then frame #37 for example. In response to den.thed. This scanner was introduced circa 2005, and although it has a USB 2.0 interface, it still may not be detectable after Apple rewrote the USB interface in the operating system a few years back. Q: But there are also a few issues you don't immediately think of which affect the scanning time: While scanning it stroke me first that the scanning times of the Nikon V are virtually not up to the resolution anymore. Will be grateful for further comment on this point. Thus portrait format slides have to be inserted at right angle into the slide mount adaptor and rotated afterwards with the scan software or any image processing software. If you feel that your old scanner has bcome an ex old scanner, have a look at this review article -, https://wiki.ezvid.com/best-slide-scanners. VikingOSX, Sep 8, 2020 12:57 PM in response to M_B_H, User profile for user: Furthermore you can scan single, loose negatives or positives and curled/curved film strips with the optional accessory FH-3. Should we scan maybe 10 standardized test slides with resolution bar, colour patterns and gray scales to check to what extent the scans match the original? If you forcibly pull on the adaptor you can damage the scanner. DDE is part of the new Advanced ICE4 and performs exposure compensation. ICE works that good with the Nikon that I always keep it turned on, except for scanning B&W shots or Kodachrome images. Digital ICE4 Advanced TM(Digital ICE Quad Advanced). This actually works perfectly, but after 99 slides the scanner stops. While the serial slide mount adaptor MA-21 is inserted into the scanner virtually just as a holder to carry slides, the also serial strip film holder SA-21 is inserted deeper and connected to the scanner by an interface with 35 pins. They appear to be out of the film scanning market, as there are no newer devices listed. The function of automatically finding the beginning of the film and the division of the film strip into single frames respectively don't work flawlessly. I would have preferred a callback. It's getting more delicate when scanning curled film strips, curved slides or - to some extent - glass mounted slides, because the depth of field of the Coolscan 5 is less than 1mm. So let the scanning begin! At the End of a hot summer 2003 the Nikon boat was rocked. So nothing shows in the left-hand "DEVICES" pane in Image Capture if you click the "Show" button that appears next to "SHARED" when you hover the mouse? Of course you can always create a slide show and so on with existing images, no matter if they accrue from a digital camera or from a scanner. For setting the colour there is gradation curves, colour balance sliders, a LCH editor and an analog-amplifying slider. While scanning it happens every now and then that the software totally crashes. Its a bare bones piece of software and will be OK if you have only a few slides or negatives to scan. SilverFast 8 supports Photoshop CS3 to CS6 and CC. Once you have made and saved your different settings you can quickly perform a scan or a series of same scans virtually at the push of a button. The film scanner is connected to the computer via the USB 2.0 port (USB 1.1 is also possible). Supplying Nikon View makes sense by all means, although 99% of all users won't ever use this programm, because not everybody wants to spend 15-30 minutes for image processing, settings, enhancement and so on after scanning an image. That is correct. There is no limitation in the length of the object slide, but the scan area is as big as the normal 35mm frames - about 23x35 mm. Strongly curled film strips as well can not be processed with the SA-21. Now it's getting exotic but by no means unrealistic. The whole user guide is available in six languages. The Nikon Coolscan V differs from the Coolscan 5000 in another issue: there is wide difference in scanning times. If you try ICE works perfectly with the Nikon V: dust, scratches, fingerprints, lint etc. I've always said: it's not only the scanner that makes the image, it's also the software. But as aforementioned this kind of function does not enhance image quality but only allows comfortable adjustment of image editing tools directly within the scan software. I primarily work with digital cameras now, and I figure I can use Lightroom faster to correct images once they are scanned than spend too much time with the scanner software. I don't want to put anybody on the spot, or violate any forum rules about promoting or criticizing specific products, so if this is a problem, I hope someone will tell me so. When I get a chance to sit back down at the computer, I will surely use your advice. Sep 8, 2020 2:21 PM in response to M_B_H From this it follows that it's not that important what the scanned image effectively looks like, but rather which information it contains. Somebody must think they are worth it. With tidyly mounted slides and plain film strips the autofocus does a very good job. Sep 8, 2020 1:06 PM in response to VikingOSX But why should Nikon launch a new range? The back side of the Coolscan 5 incidentally differs from his big brother: the opening for the 35mm roll film adaptor, which can be used to digitise whole 35mm film rolls at once is missing here. In the beginning I was sceptical of this design - but in the meantime I've inserted hundrets of film strips into the scanner with the strip film holder, and there never was a problem. Thus in colour images 242 shades can be differentiated, this is more than 4 trillion colours. Who already knows Silverfast from his flat bed scanner or even already owned another film scanner with Silverfast doesn't want to become acquaintetd with another scan software of course, because handling this kind of software correctly requires a lot of time. Various events interrupted that process, and now I need to resume it, not least to make salable some of the remarkable images I was able to capture in Africa, the Middle East and elsewhere. The strip film holder FH-3 is not included in shipment anymore, although it is an indispensible accessory for scanning film strips and single frames. The Nikon scans at 4000 dpi, and both those scanners considerably exceed that resolution, if I have understood correctly. But that's all with the little Nikon. Another shortcoming is that sometimes the communication with the scanner doesn't work anymore - the software then messages that no scanner is connected. There are online instructions on cleaning the mirror. I almost suspect that Nikon installed a kind of break in the little Coolscan V in order that there are still selling points for the 5000. In this regard the differences between the small and the big Nikon are clearly visible. Let's deal with the scan software Nikon Scan. So far as I can tell, everyone agrees it is among the best available. With nominal 4000dpi the Coolscan V ED is ranking at top class of film scanners. A sophisticated mechanism locks the adaptor in the scanner. You can easily figure out how long it would take to scan a film strip with 4 or 6 frames at once. So an image in the FH-3 is handled like a single mounted frame and you can only scan one image at once. it must be adjusted individually for every image, and it can be displaced by changing the gradaton curves. The last available version is designed for Windows Vista and Nikon states explicitly that it will not run under later versions of Windows. The scanner itself only delivers raw data, compressed JPG files are generated by the computer. I am using the scanner to archive all my parents' slides (and then I'll do this for my own negatives). Once the file is extracted to a folder and you have the cab/inf files go to Device Manager and right click the Scanner > Update driver > Browse to the unzipped folder. However Nikon was front-runner concerning the prices as well. After all you want to kick off immediately, when you've unpacked your first or your new film scanner. With the slide mount adaptor MA-21 you can scan single mounted slides. Refunds. Born 1/15/1932, during the Hoover administration. If you run NikonScan as stand-alone application the software saves the single images in up to six consecutively numbered files (for example Image_01.jpg, Image_02.jpg, Image_03.jpg, ) on your hard drive. Nikon removed this creditable piece completely. Who needs a feature like the "unsharp mask" in the scan software then? Inserting whole 35mm film rolls is reserved for the bigger brother Nikon Super Coolscan 5000 ED because the 35mm roll film adaptor SA-30 can't be connected to the Nikon Coolscan V. I'm pointing this out because I'm repeatedly getting asked if there is really no way to somehow attach the SA-30 to the small Nikon, because the LS-50 and the LS-5000 are so similar. . Here problems with drawing in the film frequently occur - the adaptor crashes and you can't use it anymore! The full version can load, process and save image files with 16 bit per colour channel. Furthermore NikonView and Adobe Photoshop Elements is included in the software bundle. Even if the computer crashes the cover stays locked as long as the film wasn't rewind back into the cartridge. the data is generated in a very short time. While Image Capture is free (included with the Operating System) it does not implement any of the advanced hardware features the Nikon Coolscan 5000 offers. Old Toad, call Sign in or create an account to access your information. The learning curve of the Nikon stuff can be a little steep. Nikon uses high-class lenses. If you cut away the 35mm slide mount you will get about 30% less image information than by activating the whole scan area. After some back and forth with the VueScan people, I now think the problem may be with my scanner. If you run NikonScan indirectly via an image editing software you'll get up to six windows with the image(s) for editing. So the big price cut Nikon made with the LS-50 compared to the LS-40 isn't that big at all when considering the changes in the scanner's standard equipment. You definitely won't see a gigantic increase of quality when you use Silverfast instead of NikonScan. But it was a problem for me, that I was able to install the new scan software NikonScan 4 not until the old version 3.x was completely uninstalled. The resolution of Kodachrome is of course legendary, and resolution is critical if you want to make crystal clear prints in 30 x 40 size, or even 16 x 20, or the "double letter" size of 17 x 22 which is the largest halfway affordable, archival quality printer Canon makes. Thank you for your response. As described below Nikon launched two new scanners at the same time: the Nikon Coolscan V ED and the Nikon Super Coolscan 5000 ED. I was surprised that the smallest Nikon is as reliable as his bigger brother concerning resolution. The image to be scanned is moved into a little window by an adjustable guide rail. An image scanned with the Scan Image Enhancer in fact appears better than a standard scan, but this advantage is leveled out by the following image editing though. Totally off-topic - Congratulations ! And there is one more reason for the expensive full version: the Elements version can only process an image file with a colour depth of 16 bit if it is previously converted into 8 bit.
