The Nikon Super Coolscan 9000 ED is a real alternative for very expensive drum scanners. The Super Coolscan 9000 is a award-winning medium format scanner which accepts virtually any format up to 6x9cm. The scanner provides an extremely good image quality at 4000 dpi resolution. As you can see on our
film scanner ranking list the Nikon LS-9000 ED is the top model among all film scanners ever built. It is exceeded only from the Hasselblad drum scanners. Additionally, it is the only scanner which provides very good results when scanning Kodachrome films, see our site about
Kodachrome-Films for more details.
The Nikon Super CoolScan 9000 ED is the best film scanner ever built. No manufacturer has ever brought a device on the market which was nearly equal to the Nikon LS-9000. As an alternative we recommend you our
Scan-Service. We scan negatives and slides with the Nikon Super Coolscan 9000 ED.
As you can read in our detailed
test report about the Nikon LS-9000ED, there are numerous
film holders available for this device. Especially with the help of the glass holders almost any film up to a size of 6x9 cm can be scanned in best quality.
For those who put much importance to best image quality, there is no alternative to the Nikon Super Coolscan 9000 ED, except even more expensive drum scsanners. And even drum scanners don't have the automatic dust and scratch correction so that one can confidently designate the Nikon Super Coolscan 9000 ED as the best film scanner ever built.
