I have a Nikon Coolscan IV ED. It came with two heads; "MA-20 Slide Mount Adapter" for slides & "SA-20 Strip Film Adapter" for film strips. It also had an accessory "Strip Film Holder FH-3" that allows you to scan strips of up to 6 frames using the slide head.
The Nikon scan software hasn't been updated since Windoze XP, but there's a hack out there that will allow it to work with Windows 7. OTOH, VueScan supports that model & works just fine on Windows 7. If you're going to buy a used one from eBay or Amazon, you want to make sure it includes the FH-3, because buying an FH-3 separately will set you back almost as much as the scanner itself. I still use mine frequently as I slowly digitize the remnants of my old film. I scanned "Memphis Belle" for the 20th Anniversary PUG from an old Kodachrome slide.

I've been cleaning out my storage room in the basement, AKA The Camera and Computer Museum, and have uncovered boxes and boxes of slides, some of which are passable photos, and have become interested in maybe scanning some of them. I've looked here and there at digital slide scanners. So my query, if you haven't figured it out by now, is if any of you have gone down this path, and whether you have found a decent scanner. I'd appreciate any guidance.
