The Nikonscan hack is pretty useful. About a year ago I retired my XP
machine and installed Nikonscan on a Win 10 x64 box. The hack works fine
on Win10 though I had to temporarily disable WIn10's requirement that
all drivers be digitally signed. Vuescan is a great optionand I use it
for 35mm scanning, but on the LS8000, when using 120 film, aligning
frames in Vuescan is a royal PITA. Nikon scan, as dated as it is, does
automatically detect frames.

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.
