[Leica] Nikon 9000 scanner for sale

[Ken Carney]

For sale: Nikon LS9000 ED scanner in mint condition. My sister-in-law 
purchased this new from a local camera shop some years ago. It was to be 
for a large family photo scanning project of 35mm and MF film, but she 
never got started.   I’m pretty confident that it was never used, just 
taken out of the box and put on a desk.  Except for one slide holder, 
all of the cables, cords, film holders, software disks etc. have not 
been opened.  All of the items shipped with it are there, except for two 
"masks", which I think are plastic strips to mask off part of a negative 
(not sure why those would be used but aftermarket strips seem to be 
available).   All is in the original packaging.  I use a Nikon 4000ED 
scanner, so I plugged its FireWire cable and power into the 9000 and 
tried it.  Results with slides were fine (4,000 ppi 48-bit scans with 
Vuescan and Silverfast software).  $2,200 plus shipping.

Items included are:

Scanner, power cable, FireWire cable, 35mm strip film holder, 35mm slide 
holder, medium format strip film holder, FireWire board, Nikon Scan CD, 
CD reference manual, Nikon View CD, user's manual and quick-start 
guide.  It may be possible to use the Nikon Scan software with Windows 
7/10. It seems I found a way to do that some time back for the 4000ED, 
but I prefer Vuescan anyway.
