Flatbeds are just not up to the task - I've owned 2 and they were hopeless for anything smaller than 6X4.5. And I'm counting my blessings as there ain't that many of them left.

Hey, someone will have to pry my 9000 out of my cold dead hands!īut Nikon's failure in improving them at all in the last 10 years has finally resulted in a very reasonable scanner being available by someone else.Ībout time! Finally! This is the first multi-format scanner still being made that I found both good and affordable. I'm waiting for the sad time my 9000 goes the same way.Įntirely agreed: the Coolscans were excellent in their time. Fact is, as you very well noted: Nikon doesn't make them anymore and neither do they service them. Les, I'm not anymore interested in what Coolscans can do. After all, the Coolscans are no longer in production so it is only a matter of time (knock on wood) even though they have certainly proven their build quality. So I really appreciate the work that you are putting in to help the general knowledge. No doubt I cannot expect as much data in a review considering the unit just came out. Link to larger version -> Coolscan Colors No doubt personal preferences with color is highly subjective. Here is an example of timesaving when it comes to Coolscan+Nikonscan automatic default color results compared to Vuescan many settings and film specific setting.

I cannot possibly match it in post work considering it takes less than a minute to scan with ICE. Here is an example of the Coolscans time saving when it comes to a particularly scratched up frame of film. BTW, it seems we don't share the same focus issues. I can tell you that minimal to no pre or post work required - particularly color adjustments, when using fully automatic batch scans using Nikonscan is a good time saver to go along with actual scan times. As a point of reference, I have personally scanned over 20,000 frames of various films with the Coolscan 50 and at less than a minute per frame of 35mm with ICE on - about 30 seconds without, I have a reasonable idea of what adds up.
