We just this week finished our new Nikon X-Pan prototype film holder. Had to overcome the Nikon 8000/9000 firmware limitations.

This is a six frame holder (two strips of three frames). Will scan three Xpan frames in a batch.

In the process of working on this scanner project I caught the X-Pan bug, and ordered myself a camera from Adarama.:):):) Words can not describe my excitement of getting my hands on this camera.:):):)

The Nikon FH-869GR is a great holder for X-Pan, however like our single frame holder it is slow, loads only one frame at a time.

Our new holder loads six Xpan frames. It should help in scanning larger batches.

Very interesting! Is it already available somewhere in our website? Couldn't find it yet. Thanks.
 
Ugly prototype is finished

No photo's of the ugly prototype, and no documentation.

We hope to have a finalized version ready in a week or two.

I was just exited to finally overcome most of the Nikon firmware limitations, had to tell someone.

Has anybody heard any news regarding this product?

I remember contacting filmscanusa about this half a year or so ago, and just tried again now. I'll update this thread if I receive a response from them this time around.

Sadly not a word from them this time around either.
