Dear Filmscanners, I am considering purchasing a Nikon Super Coolscan 4000 ED to electronically archive the 10000 35mm slides and hundreds of uncut rolls of mostly Fuji Super HQ 100 color negative film that I have exposed in the microscope over the last 15 years. I was attracted to the 4000 ED in part because of its ability to handle bulk loading. Where can I find a discussion of the real and potential problems that I might face with bulk loading in general and with this Nikon model in particular? It seems to offer freedom from tedium, but am I going to wish I had manually focussed each image anyway? Thanks in advance. Cheers.
