- To use the Kits for the Nikon 5000 / Nikon V
/Canonscan FSU4000, and Minolta Scanners you
need Only the mounted slide film holders provided
with the scanner. No extra holders are necessary.
- It is possible to scan strip film in scanners that position
the holder horizontally instead of vertically, because
the lid is not necessary for the control of the holder
within the scanner, as for example the MInolta Scan
Elite II pictured above.
- With 35 mm Nikon scanners equipped with an FH-3
Holder it is possible to remove the lid or flap of the
holder to fit the scanning glass provided. In this case
the strip film kit 2.3 can be used. First verify that the
holder cover or flap can be removed, and if you can,
order the 2.3 strip film kit.
- Fluid scanning, has these advantages:
- achieves a flat film plane and
- Eliminates Newton Rings.
- By placing the film under the scanning glass,
additional refraction is avoided, and the image has a
clear path to the sensors
- The fluid scanning kits are cheaper and more
effective than the glass holder.
- Other Questions about using the Single Slide
Kits
- What about fluid dripping inside the scanner?
- A concern with beginners is that the fluid will drip inside the
scanner. However, the fluid mount is totally dry externally
before it goes into the scanner and then, the only existing fluid
is internal: A micro-layer between film and glass, film and
overlay.
- What about Image quality output from a fluid scan from the
these scanners?
- The special quality of a drum scan stems from the fact that
drum scanners are all fluid scanners. Fluid scanning
upgrades all these scanners significantly, and the output -
short of turning out central station filling murals, are
outstanding.
- Remember to order spare plates. Save time by
assembling one mount while scanning another.
