Sounds too good to be true, but.., 2008-08-06
I bought this to transfer old family slides onto disk. All I can say is it doesn't do it very well. Takes time to get slides in and then manually push them through the scanner. Picture quality is poor, no shadings. I hear it is much better if you are scanning film negatives. I hope so.

Worth the effort!, 2008-12-31
Very good, after struggling with the software. I had to maually download the scanner. Veho help site useless, no mention of this model that I could find. A good product let down by it's software and customer service.
My results excellent after processing with Windows Picture Gallery. I have Vista.Dennis.

Pleasantly Surprised, 2008-12-26
I installed this scanner with ease on a Windows XP laptop and within an hour had two 35mm films scanned in. After a while I got into a routine, getting familiar with the loading, button pressing, transferring etc and would expect to get a 36 frame film scanned in about 15 minutes in future.

I had been apprehensive about how the scans would come out having seen the mixed reviews but I was pleasantly surprised. I would say I am fairly demanding on sharpness and colour accuracy; I am a mid-range SLR camera user rather than a snapshot photography, and I found the scans certainly good enough for displaying on the laptop screen at full size. The results at this size are on a par with viewing shots direct from my Canon SLR; zooming in reveals the scans are less sharp but this is irrelevant unless you want to crop photos down before viewing.

I would have given this scanner 5 stars if if were not for one issue; every scan has a sliver right along one edge that looks like it is scanning the edge of the film holder. This is easily removed by cropping (I use Irfan view as it is quick to use) but slightly annoying - I have yet to work out if it is a misalignment that I can correct in positioning the holders in the slot of the unit.

On balance I would say this scanner is worth having because it does the job with reasonable speed and quite acceptable quality.

Nikon provides a wide range of scanner accessories that remove surface defects, restore color, correct exposure and reduce grain in your scans giving photographers, graphics professionals and others the ability to produce perfectly scanned images from a wide variety of film formats. This IA-20(S) adapter that is easily mounted on the front of the scanner allows to use Advanced Photo System films in IX240 format.
unnecessary unless doing big volume and then not robust enough, 2008-01-04
if you're just scanning a handful of films you're better off winding the neg out of the aps cartridge with a biro and then scanning it as you would 35mm.
you will have to mask it down with photoshop if you don't like the look of the whole film but prints including this as a border can look great in my opinion.
save your dough. this is a piece of expensive plastic.

Great time saver, 2006-12-16
A real boon if you have a lot of slides to scan, this attachment for the LS-5000 scanner works pretty well and saves hours. Setting up is simple - you just slot it into the front of the scanner, which has to be lying in the horizontal position. It takes 50 slides and there is a slightly fiddly adjustment for thickness of mount - so it's best not to mix thin and thick in the same batch.

It worked faultlessly with plastic mounts but old card mounts quite often got stuck - this is a pain because resetting the scanner scrambles the Nikonscan software so you have to quit and restart. I finally figured out the problem - the inner edge of the mount of the slide being loaded catches on the opposite inner edge of the next slide: this is caused by slight splaying of the mounts. A solution which worked most of the time is to put a smooth rectangular object, about 1 x 1 x 4 cm (I used a handy artist's graphite block) upright between the sprung slide pusher and the last slide, on the side away from the scanner. This asymmetric pressure flares the stack of slides on the far side so they don't catch.

The scan software otherwise works fairly well and saves the images in a numbered series. You have to make any decisions in the scan options before you start a batch as you cannot change them between slides - if necessary you have to cancel the series, often quit & restart the software and start again, remembering to choose the right number to continue saving the images.

In summary, a few glitches but well worth the hassle as it's such a brilliant scanner.
