Its 14-bit A/D conversion input and 16-bit output deliver excellent color reproduction. The SUPER COOLSCAN 8000 ED is the ultimate film scanner for professional photographers, designers, and other discriminating users who demand high accuracy, resolution and vivid color. It employs a technologically advanced, large-diameter SCANNER NIKKOR ED lens which features ED (extra-low dispersion) glass elements that reduce chromatic aberration. This lens also minimizes image distortion and delivers sharp images. Complementing this revolutionary new lens in boosting overall image quality are a high-performance custom CCD, a new scene analysis function for auto correction of tone and color, and exclusive rod dispersion LED technology that is gentle to film. These elements together comprise a highly advanced optical system that provides superb image quality. The SUPER COOLSCAN 8000 ED also features Digital ICE3 (cubed), a new digital image correction function developed by Applied Science Fiction, Inc. It consists of Digital ICE (Image Correction & Enhancement), Digital ROC (Reconstruction of Color), and Digital GEM (Grain Equalization & Management). With the IEEE1394 interface, high-speed data transfer can be achieved. An IEEE1394 board and cable are included in the package for users who do not have the interface.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this machine capable of transferring 16mm family film to Apple computer. If not is there something out there?**
A: to do that on coolscan 8000 or 9000. With a glass film holder you could scan four three inch strips at one time. But it would take a long time to edit the scan into separate frames and then to assemble into a series and convert the whole thing into a digital video format.Yes it is possible but would take way too much time and would require cutting the film into 3" strips.There are probably dedicated machines for doing what you want but because 16mm was more of a professional format they may be hard to find.

**Q: What comes in the box with the scanner?  What film carriers does it come with? I need 35mm, 6x7cm at least.  Does it scan both negatives and slides?**
A: In the box - 35mm filmstrip holder; 35mm slide mount holder; medium format (120) film strip holder; two masking sheets; power cable; firewire/IEEE1394 interface cable; nikon scan 3.1 (now unsupported- Vuescan is a good software option.) Quickstart and user manual.

**Q: Wow, why so expensive for such old (2001-2004) technology?!**
A: The nikon  Coolscans, along with the even more costly Hasselblad Flextight, far surpass current flatbed scanning. This model was $2,000 new in 2000, before Nikon stopped offering scanners. It remains state of the art.

**Q: what is the oldest/newest version of OSX (apple) that is compatible with this scanner?
same question re: Photoshop (or PSElements) ?**
A: I currently run my Coolscan with an iMac that is at version 10.6.8.I used to use the Coolscan before OS X came along.
