If you have any questions emails are welcome.

For this auction I have for offer a NIKON LS-4500AF Hi End film scanner in
perfect condition.
The machine has come from a Government Department and from what I can tell
it has had very little use.
The scanner is in excellent condition mechanically and cosmetically.
The Nikon LS-4500AF is a 3-pass scanner, which means much less digital noise
than single-pass scanners.
It is an extremely versatile system - it will support any film size up to
4x5", 8x11mm Minox (with the included glass film carrier).
Plus, the glass 4x5" carrier insures film flatness (for edge-to-edge
sharpness) and accomodates full-frame 4x5" scans
(unlike the Polaroid film holders which crop into a 4x5" by about 1/4" on
all 4 edges).

This machine cost the Government around $14000 new.

*Nikon LS-4500AF scanner

4x5" sheet film, all medium format 6x4.5, 6x6, 6x7, 6x8, 6x9, (adjustable
