SilverFast Ai (Nikon) LS 8000/9000 ED ReviewNikon Film Scanners now 100% Leopard (Mac) compatible - from SilverFast version 6.6 on - Version: 6.5.5r5, 6/23/2008 02:52AM PST

F. Meyers
Good NEWS for all Mac Users:

"Starting with version 6.6, SilverFast now supports Leopard for all 35mm Nikon scanner models (and all current IntelMacs).
Nikon Filmscanner are now addressed directly without any detour through the MAID-module.
With help of the patented SilverFast ME®, Kodachrome slides can be scanned with full dynamic range up to 3,8D for the first time
(without SilverFast ME® the Nikon LS5000ED generally only reaches 3,3D)."

but : "Presently only 35mm film scanner will be supported – a new version for LS-8000 and LS-9000 film scanners will follow soon."

I asked their support, when a compatible version for the 9000 will be available.
They replied, they are working on it and it would be distributed in maybe three or four weeks.

SilverFast Ai (Nikon) LS 8000/9000 ED Reviewodd software - Version: 6.5.1r1, 8/29/2007 12:33AM PST

This is very odd software... badly designed, strange user interface, quite unintuitive and overly complicated... not for everyone... yes it does produce good scans, but no better than Vuescan or even the now very old NikonScan... (if you know how to use them correctly) - And the price of this thing - it's ridiculous even for pro's. Why spend all that money on overwrought mediocrity when you can get simple efficiency for far less in Vuescan.
