Subject: [Leica] Film Scanner Suggestion

I use the Nikon 5000 with slide holder/feeder: works great, I have the roll 
film attachment, but it hardly gets used: usually the film is in strips 
before I scan.

The batch scanner attachment works great - SF-210.  I couldn't do 
without it.  The cardboard Kodachrome mounts and the very thin Pakon 
mounts can cause problems and jams, but I usually remount all of mine 
in Wess or Gepe mounts so I can clean them really well before 
scanning and so they are held really flat for scanning.
