About Our Scanners
For 35mm film we use Nikon Super Coolscan 5000 ED professional grade film scanners. The news release of this scanner came in October of 2003 and we upgraded to this scanner in December of 2003. The scanner was tested extensively for quality, consistency, and speed. It proved to be superior to the older Nikon 35mm scanners, the Coolscan IV ED and the Super Coolscan 4000 ED. The major improvements in the 5000 are faster scan times, a broader dynamic range, a higher bit-depth, and the image enhancement technology of Digital ICE4. The 5000 is fast and produces superb consistant results. Since it is fast we are able to offer you extremely low scanning prices, faster turnaround times, and the highest possible quality (other than expensive and time consuming drum scans).
For unmounted 110 film and medium format film we use Nikon Super Coolscan 9000 ED professional grade film scanners. This model is very similar to the 5000 except that it's designed for larger film types. Again, this scanner does an excellent job.
For prints and 4x5 inch film we are currently using Epson Perfection 4870 Pro scanners.
