X-Pan Nikon 8000/9000 prototype X-Pan holder

[FilmScanUSA.com]

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.🙂🙂🙂

Nikon FH-869GR holder has an Xpan mask.

One frame or six frames

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.

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.

I would be interested in the new film loader.
Using FH-869GR is PITA

I contacted the author and he said he got other priorities but hope to re-start soon. That was last week.

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.

I've dealt with FilmScan USA and they are good. Got a holder for Minox film.
