Heads up on Nikon 9000 scanners

[Allen in Montreal]

We all know that Nikon has stopped production of the 9000 roll film scanner.
Nikon Canada had 12 in stock.

I ordered one, and so did someone else at CamtecPhoto, 2 arrived this week. So there are 10 left.
Retail was $2500 cdn, not great but not too bad. Once Freestyle ran out at $2100 they seem to have jumped way up.

Just a heads up if you are thinking about a LS-9000.

Just to underline, within the past few weeks Nikon Japan has finally moved the 9000 to the "discontinued products" section of its website. So it's for real this time.

Terrific scanner for the money. I highly recommend Silverfast AI studio for best performance.

Just got mine from the Camera Store in Calgary. Bit higher than your price but lower than Vistek. No one on Vancouver/Victoria had one.
Merry Christmas to me

"We all know that Nikon has stopped production of the 9000 roll film scanner".

Is there a web page or official announcement to which you can point ?

I managed to get mine from Amazon for USD2199, after just a few weeks' of waiting. If anyone is still looking for one, it might worth a shot there!

Sad but true, I had been sitting on the fence for a long while, but I called Nikon Canada when I heard it was the final run, sure enough, they confirmed it was done and they had 12 in stock so I fell off the fence and took one!

Thanks for the tip, having seen some the brilliant prints you made from your scans, I will look in to that!

Merry Christmas to you indeed. Vistek.....don't get me started....

I tried Amazon as the CDN dollar was almost at par with the US dollar, but they would not ship to Canada. Camtec is my main shop, I like the owner and he is on the floor everyday, and he gave me a better price than Canada's B+H wannabe (Vistek).
