Film scanner with big loader?
Posted by kunt on December 27th, 2007


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.

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.
