The Nikon Super Coolscan 5000 provides professional scans with 35mm films and APS films. 4000 ppi resolution and a density range of 4,8 speak for themselves. For people who emphasise highest image quality and want to scan large quantities of 35mm films the LS-5000 is just right. As you can read in our review the Nikon Super Coolscan 5000 ED provides an extremely good image quality and is very very fast. With the slide feeder SF-210 up 50 50 framed 35mm slides can be processed automatically. As you can see in our film scanner ranking list the Nikon LS-5000 ED is the top model among the 35mm film scanners. No other film scanner is not even almost as good as the Nikon 5000.
The Nikon Super Coolscan 5000 ED is the best film scanner for 35mm films by far. It is only exceeded by its big brother Nikon Super Coolscan 9000 ED. Especially for scanning Kodachrome-films the Nikon 9000 is superior to the small brother Nikon 5000.

When working with film strips it can often happen that you accidentally touch the emulsion side of the film. The damage often is irreparable. You can avoid damages to the film material and comfortably insert film strips into the scanner or film holder by wearing fine cotton gloves.
Anti-dust spray is used to clean film material - no matter if it's mounted slides or film strips - by removing dust and fluffs with a flimsy current of air without touching the film material at all. There is no better, more comfortable and more efficient way to clean your film material.
For working with single negatives or positives we highly recommend using tweezers, because otherwise you run the risk of touching and damaging the film.
If you work with digital images - no matter if they come from a digital camera or from a film scanner - you should calibrate your screen. Without a screen calibration performed with objective criteria you run the risk of wrongly adjusting the settings of the scan or the image editing software, which makes the image look right on your screen, but will cause unnatural alienated colours on other output devices (printer, image service, new screen).
