Film scanner with big loader?
in [Scanners]

From: kunt on 27 Dec 2007 16:35 Dear all, can you suggest me a 35mm film scanner with a big loader so that I can load like 50 photo negatives alltogether then wait for it to finish? It should accept multiple strips of negatives, which might not be all of the same length. So it should also autodetect the exact position of the frames, maybe with the aid of an external software... or even human-assisted for splitting the images AFTER the scan... Does such a thing exist? Thank you

No. However, there are roll film adaptors for Nikon scanners. You could perhaps splice the strips together with a movie film splicer so that you have a continuous roll. MM
From: Barry Watzman on 29 Dec 2007 12:01 The Nikon LS-4000 (but not the dumbed down Cool Scan IV version) has an optional negative feeder that can accept a single full roll of uncut slide or negative film (I'm not sure what the length limit of the feeder is, but it's well beyond 36 exposures). There is a "hack" which you can find on the web that modifies the standard LS-4000 strip film adapter to be able to do the same thing and to essentially become the "full roll" film strip adapter. kunt wrote: > Dear all, > can you suggest me a 35mm film scanner with a big loader so that I can > load like 50 photo negatives alltogether then wait for it to finish? > > It should accept multiple strips of negatives, which might not be all of > the same length.
