Photo Forum / Film Photography / 35 mm / December 2006Scanner sold.
DSE 5400 fetched CAD$500. (orig price: $1019 + tax) approx 5000 frames scanned (or about $0.14 per frame).

(This image: http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/71244103 ) I had it printed at 24" x 24" (Got it back today). I'm not happy with the printed colors (issue between me and the lab on their ICC profile). Working it with their tech... I probably need to buy the glass holder as the slide used was pretty curled which certainly did not help the focus.

Put your name on a waiting list now. Nikon is very hit-and-miss with this particular accessory. I was on a waiting list at B&H for something like 6-8 months before they got re-stocked. I did get mine, but they were out of stock literally within a few days afterward. >>Alan Browne wrote: >>I probably need to buy the glass holder as the slide used was pretty [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > something like 6-8 months before they got re-stocked.

US) was really high and the B&H price was lower than it is today. Now I've bought the scanner ... but I'll have to wait for the glass holder. Not sure if I want to go on a waiting list. I'll let this fester a bit, probably order it via a local store and irritate them...

I don't have to deal with the foreign exchange rate. I found it was out-of-stock everywhere I checked. I'm embarrassed to admit that I haven't used it, yet. :-) I've used the scanner, just haven't gotten around to doing and MF scanning lately. Still, I'm glad I got it. I didn't like struggling with the non-glass version at all. > I wasn't pitching B&H specifically, of course. I've done business, hapilly, with them many times in the past and this was the only time I've had enduring problems with them in a short stock situation. Frustrating. > I don't have to deal > with the foreign exchange rate. I found it was out-of-stock everywhere > I checked. > > I'm embarrassed to admit that I haven't used it, yet. I'll send you my address and pay for shipping ... and the glass film holder ;-) Cheers, Alan Signature-- r.p.e.35mm user resource: http://www.aliasimages.com/rpe35mmur.htm -- r.p.d.slr-systems: http://www.aliasimages.com/rpdslrsysur.htm -- [SI] gallery & rulz: http://www.pbase.com/shootin -- e-meil: Remove FreeLunch. > Alan Browne wrote: > I'll send you my address and pay for shipping ... > and the glass film holder ;-) Are you kidding?!? These things are rare, hard-to-find, and very much sought after. I'd have to charge a premium. ;-) >>Alan Browne wrote: >>I'll send you my address and pay for shipping ... >>and the glass film holder ;-) > > Are you kidding?!?

Did you manage to negoatiate visitation privledges? :-) I recently sold my Nikon 9000, and while I didn't calculate the cost per scan, I definitely got my money's worth out of it. Any scanning I do now is very sporadic, so it was gathering dust. > Cheers, > Alan >> DSE 5400 fetched CAD$500.

I recently bought the 9000 ED and have to date scanned one image... It is unlikley that I will ever scan over 2000 MF frames with it (to bring it near $1 per scan), but there are still lots of 35mm frames to scan as well... How much did you get for the 9000?
