The Nikon film scanners of the last generation, i.e. Are there equal successors on the market?Įven 10 years after the end of the Nikon film scanner aera there are no equal successors on the market. While the slide frame holder MA-21 or an automatic slide feeder SF-210 still provide a good service after some years, other film adapters of Nikon, as for example the IA-20 APS-adapter, the film strip adapter SA-21 or the film holders for the Nikon 9000 are subject to a strong wear and tear, so that they will not offer the original functionality after employing them for some years. Used accessoires are hard to find, as usually they are sold together with the used scanner. In Filmscanner-Shop there are still rests of Nikon-accessoires available.įor the Nikon filmscanners there are still some rests of accessoires available at the market. Are there still some film adapters and film holders for the small picture and medium format scanners of Nikon avilable? But there are still a lot of Nikon scanners in the daily use and also available as used devices. Since Nikon has stopped the filmscanner production in the years 2008/2009, the supply of optional film adapters and film holders was also stopped by Nikon. Are there still any accessories for the Nikon-scanner available on the market? Nikon prefers to concentrate on the lucrative digicam business, where the units are surely higher than the filmscanners by a factor of 1000. The world wide distribution in numerours language versions, current software-updates, adaptations to the new operating systems, guarantees, supply of spare parts, consideration of new regulations of the environment in different countries etc are very time and money consuming. I never heard any official reason for that, but the suspiction comes up that the business with filmscanners was not lucrative for an international corporation as Nikon, despite of the fact that it was the market leader. In our Filmscanner-Shop there are still some rests of Nikon-scanners available.Īfter Canon gave up its very good scanner in the year 2005 and in the year 2006 KonicaMinolta left the scanner business, in the year 2008/2009, the last big international scanner producer Nikon gave up the slide scanner- business.
Why does the market leader simply gives up its business? In the year 2008/2009, Nikon completely gave up the filmscanner production. The Nikon-filmscanners were sold worldwide in a high volume, and, with the optimal accessoires, one could digitalize (almost) all types of film material in a very good quality. Since filmscanners exist, Nikon was the undisputable market leader regarding image quality, scan velocity and variety of adapters. Why has Nikon given up the production of its filmscanners?
