Nikon Super Coolscan 8000 ED Film Scanner

From the Manufacturer
The SUPER COOLSCAN 8000 ED is a top-of-the-line scanner that is capable of rapidly scanning a variety of film formats, such as 35mm, 120/220, 16mm, slide glass, and even electron microscope--at true 4,000-dpi optical resolution. Its 14-bit A/D conversion input and 16-bit output deliver excellent color reproduction.

The SUPER COOLSCAN 8000 ED is the ultimate film scanner for professional photographers, designers, and other discriminating users who demand high accuracy, resolution and vivid color. It employs a technologically advanced, large-diameter SCANNER NIKKOR ED lens which features ED (extra-low dispersion) glass elements that reduce chromatic aberration. This lens also minimizes image distortion and delivers sharp images.

Complementing this revolutionary new lens in boosting overall image quality are a high-performance custom CCD, a new scene analysis function for auto correction of tone and color, and exclusive rod dispersion LED technology that is gentle to film. These elements together comprise a highly advanced optical system that provides superb image quality.

The SUPER COOLSCAN 8000 ED also features Digital ICE3 (cubed), a new digital image correction function developed by Applied Science Fiction, Inc. It consists of Digital ICE (Image Correction & Enhancement), Digital ROC (Reconstruction of Color), and Digital GEM (Grain Equalization & Management).

With the IEEE1394 interface, high-speed data transfer can be achieved. An IEEE1394 board and cable are included in the package for users who do not have the interface.

Features:

4,000-dpi true optical-resolution scanning, 14-bit A/D converter incorporating 16-/8-bit output for vivid images
Multiple film format scanning (120/220, 35mm [135], 16mm, etc.)
Customized 10,000-pixel 3-line monochrome linear CCD
Newly developed custom CCD reduces image noise and provides clear resolution
Proprietary LED technology ensures consistently accurate color reproduction

Nikon's Medium Format Film Scanner--the 8000ED.......2002-10-29

If you have both 35mm and medium format transparencies and or negatives to bring into the digital age, I heartily recommend the Nikon Super Coolscan 8000ED. Firewire equipped, it is designed to work easily with the current line of graphics capable computers. Its bundled software has worked well for me (using a MAC with OSX and Firewire) and features three special capabilities. (1) Digital ICE3 will gently remove scratches and dust saving you hours of retouching (it doesn't work well with Kodachrome and black and white silver based emulsions). (2) ROC will restore colors to faded slides. It really works! (3) GEM gives you the ability to affect grain appearance. For the highest resolution imaging (4000DPI) the process takes some time. You also need to make sure that you have a fairly up to date computer. Some serious computing is going on here and with file sizes in the hundreds of Megabytes, you can't run this with your TRS-80. I run the Nikon Scan 3 software separately from PhotoShop 7 so that I can run one while working with the other. Otherwise while it's scanning, it will lock up your PS from use. It comes with a myriad of trays which work generally quite well but it cannot handle stack loaders. This is strictly a one strip at a time scanner. After all, these are some serious file sizes. While expensive, the 8000ED is approaching the quality of a drum scanner without the mess and the expense. For most work this is truly going to deliver.
