>>3793743I use an ES-1 with modified slide mount that lets me slide film strips through.
Using a Nikon ES-1/2 is a MUST if you want to scan 35mm. Quality is top notch and there is zero setup time. No fiddling around trying to align your sensor plane to the film plane. I do use it on a tripod though, that just makes things super easy.
Honestly, if people are DSLR scanning 35mm and not using one of these Nikons they are doing themselves an incredible disservice.
