"Alex Tutubalin" wrote in message ... All my 6x7 films are cut into 3-frames strips (+ one extra frame). Is it possible to physically fit such strip into an Nikon 8000/9000 film holder ? The regular film holder would probably be a problem (There's a screw head that sticks up above the film plane where the third frame would fall: even if it didn't scratch the film, it would probably buckle it enough to make it impossible to get the film anywhere near flat), but the (expensive) glass holder looks like it would be fine. I don't want to scan all 3 frames at one pass, it is possible for me to revert each strip after two frames scan. Yup, you'd have to scan two and then flip the film around for the third. You'd probably have to cut your own masks for the glass holder, but that's no big deal. David J. Littleboy Tokyo, Japan |

David,
thank you for your reply. that sticks up above the film plane where the third frame would fall: even if it didn't scratch the film, it would probably buckle it enough to make it impossible to get the film anywhere near flat), but the (expensive) glass holder looks like it would be fine. There is two glass holders for 9000ED, rotating and non-rotating. I hope, you're talking about (less expensive) non-rotating... Is there any problems with Newton rings and glass holders ? -- Alex Tutubalin |

While the upper glass is anti-newton, the lower glass is not, and will make rings for many frames. You need to use a mask to hold the film off the lower glass. Nikon supplies a set of masks, but they only handle one frame, so you need to cut your own masks for your camera's frame spacing. Like the Nikon 35mm scanners, the 8000's DOF is miniscule, and you need to make sure the film hasn't buckled by measuring the focus at several points across the frame and manually setting the focus to the middle of the range. Scanning's a pain and an increadible sink of time. David J. Littleboy Tokyo, Japan |

Is it possible to physically fit such strip into an Nikon 8000/9000 film holder ? On the 8000 holder I can only fit two 6x7 frames so I have to cut them, darn it. Dunno about the 9000 but thought it was pretty much the same. My understanding is that it uses exactly the same film holders (same product code). I think. Maybe. David J. Littleboy Tokyo, Japan |
