NikonLS-30 Coolscan III Film Scanner for PC (PC/PowerMac)

Q: I have 10k slides to scan. How long would that take with this device can I load up a lot of slides and let it work while I go off and do other thing?

It'll depend on the resolution you do it, how dirty the slide is (if you use the software to correct it on auto, which is fine) and, mostly, on the interface and computer you use to connect it. On the first Mac I used this scanner it was via SCSI. On the second one, a 2011 iMac, I bought a SCSI > Firewire adapter and things where much faster! I haven't used this scanner for some time, but I can say a regular slide will take less than a minute and a dirty one some 2 minutes. But at the time my iMac didn't have an SSD, which made things faster too. And it already had 16GB of RAM, processor is an i% at 2,5 Ghz. Another point: I used Vuescan because the original Nikon software was not compatible with OSX. I like it, it's faster than Nikon's software was. Maybe today's version is even faster. Using the slide adapter as on the image, the process is very straightforward. You introduce the slide, give a "scan" on the software and that's it. The process, as I said, is fast on "clean" slides. Less than a minute, for sure. If my memory is not playing on me, I'd say around 30/40 seconds of processing time. Quality is VERY good, it outputs a 30 x 20 cm @ 300DPI print. After scanning I always did some retouching and fine tuning on Photoshop, but that's my way of doing it.

Q: Is this for mac only or can i use it with a pc?

You can use it with both. I recommend using VueScan, so check theur page to see the system requirements. My best!

Q: do you have to have a scsi adapter to use this? Is there any other interface?

Hi, yes. I have a Ratoc SCSI > Firewire adapter. i don't know if they're still made but you can find one on eBay. It works fast and easily with my iMac, Mac OSX Sierra
