Scanning 35mm with the CoolScan 8000 / 9000

Hi,

How are folks scanning 135 film with the Coolscan 8000/9000? I am using the Nikon FH-869G film holder and was hoping for a clever solution with that.

Cheers

with all my scanners, I use the holder that is correct for the film type. too many issues trying to use the wrong film in the wrong holder. I use the fh-8355 holder for 35mm

but if thats all you have, I would guess you would have to scan the strip with the 120 holder, then either reduce you scan size to go frame by frame, or scan the whole strip and cut the individual frames in a photoshop style program.

good luck

I also use the FH-835S which takes 2 strips of 6 frames. I have also scanned many strips of 110 using that glass holder successfully.

Prior to acquiring the 9000, I use to scan 110 strips on the Coolscan 5000 using the FH3

Tedious but very quick with the 5000.

Thanks guys. I agree but find the FH-835S a little bit expensive.
