Glass holder

Photo.net. How to Avoid Ugly Newton Rings When Doing Nikon Glass Scanning. The Nikon Coolscan 9000ED scanner is an excellent scanner. The included holders are of a very good standard and many extremely useful and high quality optional holders are available. None of them, however, are cheap. I have been scanning happily for many years with my Coolscan 9000 ED and never seen the need for glass scanning. For the most part I use high quality film that is not difficult to make lie flat and my only medium format camera until recently was a 6×4.5 model that I never used anything but Fuji and Kodak film in.

Nevertheless, I had ordered some glass insets some time back from Focal Point — mostly out of curiosity. In the past six months my camera stable grew to include two medium format folders: the new Lomography X 6-12 6×12 camera and a beautiful German Agfa Record III 6×9 folder with the high quality Solinar lens.

Hi All, Finally obtained a Nikon 9000ED and am looking at the glass carrier for my Pentax 67ii negs and slides. Nikon's FH-869G is silly money but I've seen the AN glass for sale from Focal Point Inc for an fraction of the money that will sit in the FH-869S tray. This is $38 a side for the glass. They have a plain glass for the emulsion side too on offer.

I bought the rotating glass holder due to the fact that it comes with precut masks that fit all formats of medium format.

I can't help you on the Vista part. Q.G. de Bakker , Nov 15, 2010; 11:50 a.m. The 'standard' glass holder also comes with precut masks for all formats. I too haven't tried Nikon Scan under Vista (or Win 7) . , Nov 15, 2010; 12:03 p.m. Thanks guys, I don't think 'Vista' is a problem. Edward Ingold. Focal Point AN Glass for Coolscan 9000 35mm negative holder [Archive] - DPUG.ORG.

I use the Focalpoint AN glass in my 35mm 9000 holder.

Initially, I used it with the flap cover in the original hlder. It promptly jammed in the scanner. So, I proceeded to remove the flap cover and just sticky-tape the ANglass on top of the film strips. That worked really well, until the multiple sticky-tape applications created a mess. I then arrived at my current solution: I've made a rectangular frame out of brass rod from a model shop, which is hinged in the original flap cover holes and is held in place with four small tabs made out of electronic connectors, held in place by self-tapping screws. The film goes in first, emulsion side down, then the AN glass strips, then the frame goes over and the tabs are rotated to hold the frame in place and tight against the holder.

This takes care of most curled film, with only nutcase exceptions still being a problem. If you want I can take some snaps of my setup and post them here. Don't know of any wear problems of the holder. Revisit: Glass carrier for Nikon 8000/9000 : for Rich 815 - Photo.net Digital Darkroom Forum. Craig Cooper , Dec 11, 2006; 09:03 a.m.

Well after a few hours of fiddling around and trying to work an easy way to modify an FH-869S film carrier to accept glass; this is what I ended up with. Its all rather simple. Firstly, I removed the two side clamps theat come with teh standard FH-869S, then removed the thin rubber strips that grip the film on the bottom. Then I replaced these rubber strips with a thin foam-type double-side tape and trimmed it to fit. Next I screwed down the existing screws - which usually allow the film clamp on one side to float - so that it is fixed in one place just wide enough to accept the glass.

With a piece of film and AN glass on top, I positioned one of the shown metal file fastners and drilled two holes at the film stop end. Similar holes were drilled towards the back end of the carrier - one on one side and two on the other. Finally, with a straight edge I checked that nothing is sitting above the edge rails of the film carrier. Rich 815.
