Customer Reviews

A MUST have accessory for your Nikon Scanner
I returned from Iraq and instead of buying a new Nikon D-100 I purchased a new Nikon Coolscan 5000 and soon afterwards, I purchased the Strip Film Holder FH-3. I have found out that the Nikon Negative adapter (SA-21) may not be able to scan a negative on the edge of a film strip; using the FH-3 I was able to do so.
I have found it to be a must have accessory to have around when doing negative scanning.

Film Strip Holder
This is one of those tools that you either don't need or can't do without. If you want to scan 35mm positive or negative images in your Coolscan 5000 (or similar device), and you only have a single frame or two frames, you need this tool. There's simply no other way to do it. For its stated purpose, it works great. I also found I could use it to scan some smaller (Minox-sized) negative and positive images, and it worked fine.

FH-3 film strip holder - indispensable component
I have recently bought a Coolscan 5000ED film scanner from Nikon. The FH-3 film strip holder in question comes separately as an optional add-on for $25. It accommodates film strips up to 6 frames long, and holds them in the focal plane of the scanner. It is an indispensable component to the scanner, should you process film strips less than 6 frames long. Well, it's a shame really, Nikon decided not to bundle with the scanner that sold for $1049 or more. To harness the full potential of Coolscan 5000ED or V, you really need one of the FH-3 holder. It is a big help if you process short pieces of film, 2-3 frames long, or even a single naked frame. Actually, I bought two: while the first holder is in the scanner, I can load the second one with films.
