   I have a large amount of still photographic and lighting equipment,
including one of the early Nikon Coolscans, which will scan 35mm only,
colour or B&W, Pos or Neg, standard slide frames or film strips, (it will
reach up to the third frame from either end of of a strip in the strip film
holder), complete with the original Nikon software for Mac or PC.
   It has an internal adjustable setup memory which, once set, remembers the
settings until it is adjusted again, but most non-Nikon software is unable
to do a reset to original settings. (I must reset it and try saving the
setup to disc!)
   It was one of the first devices to use a blue LED, and although I bought
it second hand it was very expensive.
   I also have an AGFA StudioScan IIsi external standard 50pin SCSI flatbed
with transparency top (second lamp) which will manage over 350mm x 21mm, but
at lower resolution than the Nikon.
