To be fair, with more use I will become more adept. These are minor issues but ones that, as invariably I have to re-load the carrier when it hasn’t engaged, I find waste time. However the carriers do hold the film accurately (2) all film carriers have to be pushed into place “just right” – not far enough and it doesn’t engage – too much and you can cause damage to the carriage mechanism. This apparent fragility applies equally to the clips on the 35mm slide carrier (FH-835M). I found that the film holders took getting used to in two respects: (1) the fasteners used to secure 35mm film in its carrier (FH-835S) I found - and still find - are fiddly to release and feel fragile. There is a manual, and a quick set up guide … all logically laid out … and in various languages. It took me a few minutes only to unpack the kit and complete my first scan.

Load the software CDs, plug in the power, link the fire-wire and turn on the scanner! That’s all it takes. One of the sockets is for power and the other is the firewire connection. One of the buttons is the power on/off, and the other is the carrier eject (though it can also be ejected using a button in the scan software control panel). There are two buttons at the front and two sockets at the rear. (Super-cool thinking by Nikon!) It also comes with Nikon Scan 4 and Nikon View software.

The LS 9000 comes with power cable(s), fire-wire cable, and a fire-wire card in case your PC doesn’t have one. Now a quick run through the use of the machine: * Although maintenance free, if (or when) dust gets into the scanner and on to the lens then the whole box needs to take a visit to Nikon for cleaning. This too is a major positive feature of the Super Coolscan.
#Nikon scan 9000 manual#
The LS 9000 ED requires about a minute and a quarter to boot up (the manual states 2 minutes), but after that it’s ready to scan as often as you need. LED illumination also assures stability in colour characteristics, which contributes to faithful reproduction. Consequently there’s no risk of film suffering heat-related damage. LEDs are a stable, precise maintenance-free* light source.
#Nikon scan 9000 series#
Nikon’s COOLSCAN series are the only scanners to employ LEDs as their source of light. The LED light source is a key feature as it eliminates the warm-up time associated with many scanners that use halogen or fluorescent lamps.

Compared to ordinary glass, Nikon´s ED (Extra-low Dispersion) lens elements are claimed to be superior in edge-to-edge sharpness, definition and contrast, as well as colour registration, saturation and accuracy. All of these have, according to Nikon, been improved for enhanced image quality with faster scanning speeds. The 9000 ED has a large-diameter Scanner Nikkor ED lens, a 3-line CCD image sensor, and LED light source with rod dispersion. With ICE, DEE, ROC, GEM and SIE: Manual states 3min 5sec Preview scan (batch of 5 slides): 1min 30sec Preview scan (single): 13 to 40sec depending on features engaged Clearly processing will be impacted on the specs of the PC/Mac in use:

I tested scan times against times indicated in the Manual. There is also an optional 120 film carrier with glass (FH-869G) and one that permits limited rotation of 120 format film to eliminate tilted horizons etc (FH-869GR).īear in mind that apart from initial boot-up, the LS9000 has zero warm-up time.

More to the point, the LS 9000 will handle a broad range of film formats, thus appealing directly to the multi-format pro photographer whereas, for example, the Coolscan V ED is APS/35mm only. The LS9000 has the latest Digital ICE4 and comes packed with Digital ROC, Digital GEM and Digital DEE and Scan Image Enhancer (these features are summarized below). This is not a cheap toy by any means, and clearly aimed at imaging professionals.

The scanner (which sits at approximately 20 inches deep, 10 inches wide and 8 inches high, weighting 9 kgs) is big in size, big in performance, and big in price. It arrived unscathed, and I had it operating within a few minutes of unpacking. Such practice is NOT recommended, and not for the faint hearted. Having bought the scanner in London, and needing to take it to Brazil, I removed it from its protective packing and stuffed it in a suitcase with no more that a layer of bubble wrap on either side. The first point I have to make is that it enjoys the same tough build quality that all Nikon gear has.
