Scanners : Nikon Coolscan III LS-30

Manufacturer's description

LS-30 (Coolscan III) 10-bit personal film scanner features Digital ICE, a revolutionary new technology that locates, isolates and subtracts defects such as dust, scratches, and smudges on the film surface. This scanner's results can rival that of drum scanners with its Multi-Sample scanning technology, a scanning method that samples the image up to 16 times, then combines the data into one image. The Coolscan III also comes with Nikon Scan drive software for comprehensive control for the best scanning results.

The Coolscan III scans 35mm film and Advanced Photo System film (with optional adapter), positive or negative, color or monochrome, at a 2700 dpi resolution. The Nikon Color Management System provides very accurate color and correctly matches colors on monitors and printers, and users can work in sRGB, CMYK, RGB and Lch color spaces. It comes with two adapters that can be hot-swapped without the need to reset the scanner: a slide mount adapter and a strip film adapter. Also available is an optional Advanced Photo system film adapter for APS cartridges. The Coolscan III offers auto focus, single-pass RGB line sequential image transfer and file sizes up to 28MB.
