I've decided that the time really has come to get a scanner for my
accumulated 35mm negs and slides. The trouble is that there simply isn't
much choice. Locally it boils down to the Nikon Coolscan 50 or Nikon
Coolscan 5000. The local pricing works out at roughly US$800 or US$1600.

I currently have loan of a Nikon super coolscan 5000 ED. It works very well.
adaptors are avilable for it to scan roles of neg or posative.
this one only has the neg scanner (up to 6) and mounted slide atatchments.
Software includes auto scratch remover if you want to use it.

I've been using the old LS4000 for approx 7 yrs now and its been a
solid performer. The LS50 is basically very very similar in spec to
the older 4000 ie it has a 14 bit ad converter while the LS5000 has a
16 bit ad converter. Given my positive experience with the 4000 I
would guess that either

So now my choices are:
New Coolscan 50 (bought locally) vs. 2nd hand Nikon LS8000 bought in the US
Used to have a Coolscan 30, a bit older than the 50, and now have the 8000.
If you can get the 8000 for below $1000 I would go for
If I'd seen a Nikon 8000 for under $1000, I'd have grabbed it in an
instant. I haven't seen one for under $1200
Last year I purchased a used Nikon LS-40 for $200 or so. I just
started using it recently. It's an excellent scanner and makes it
easier to scan 35mm and APS than my old

I haven't read the rest of this thread yet, but I thought I'd toss in my two
cents anyway.
I swear by the Nikon Coolscan 8000. It was what I used for all my 35mm, medium
format, small format odd-sized scanning at my old camera shop job. When the
shop closed, I bought the scanner from them.
A few years ago, I bit the bullet purchased a Nikon Super Coolscan 4000
ED scanner. I've had Zero issues with it wish all the equipment I purchase
was as good in setting up, usage results.

I have had a CanoScan FS4000US for several years. It does great scans
at 1k, 2k, and 4k ppi. It also has the infrared spot removal system,
which Canon calls FARE. It scans strips of up to six 35mm frames or
slides. The problem is that it's slow. I mean dead dog slow. At 4k
