Summary: Worked fine until it broke
Comment: I only scanned about 15 rolls of APS before it gave up the ghost. Luckily, it has a 1 year warranty. I sent it off to Nikon for repair. The scans were for the most part fine. Oddly enough they're always rotated wrong, but that's easy enough to fix. Preview takes too long, so work off of your index prints.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Improved over time?
Comment: Like the others, I had a shoebox of film to scan. With my first adapter I was able to scan 140 rolls (mostly 25 exp) without issue. Also, another review mentioned that it cut off part of the print, but in my case the LS-50 does not.
My adapter was purchased in 2008.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Don't Even Think About It
Comment: Scanner works great with the included slide and film strip holders.
I read all of the reviews about the APS adapter.
I don't think I have ever had a product fail out of the box in quite a long time.
The adapter arrived today from Adorama. Read the brief instructions carefully.
I loaded my first roll of APS film as per instructions and after a few seconds of
grinding and squealing and a flashing light on the scanner
I got an error message telling me to turn the scanner off and restart it.
I did and after a few more seconds of grinding and squealing
the flashing light was followed by the same error message.
The film is still securely inside the adapter and there is no way
to open the door once things go wrong.
I should have believed what I read about this product.
It now has to be sent back to Nikon before I can do anything about
returning the product to the dealer because Nikon will have to
retrieve my roll of film.
Customer Rating:
Summary: a little patience and practice
Comment: I read all the negative reviews of this piece of equipment and bought it anyway. With the negative reviews in mind I have taken special care to load and unload the film cartridges carefully, which can be tricky until you get some practice, now nearly a year later with all my APS rolls finished, I will say I have had no problems at all.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great for it's intended use but reliability is poor
Comment: For its intended use case this works very well for scanning in APS films (15, 25 and 40 exposure). I have a Coolscan V (LS-50) and use VueScan software. I scanned in quite a lot of images quite happily. Some months afterwards I had to scan in some more APS films and the adapter jammed leaving the film stuck in the adapter.
The adapter is also REALLY loud when spooling and unspooling film from the cartridge. If you are in a smallish room you will not want to scan too many films in one sitting.
On the whole I have been happy and may well purchase another one just because I still have APS films to scan.
