Hoping against hope this is not the end of one of Nikon's dedicated film scanners.
shame it is/was a great scanner - with the glass carrrier and wet mounting it gave really incredible results (Light years better than any Epson, and every bit as good as Imacon, if I may say, without starting a flame war) for relatively little $. Happy to own one, and it's earned it money many many times back.
cant understand why they don't release the 64bit driver, I mean how hard can that be, really?
however, the writing is VERY BIG on the wall for all film products, their day is done, scanners included.
if you have a big archive of rollfilm to ever scan, I'd highly recommend getting one now, with the wet mount carrier. Dry carrier suffers film flatness issues, and only wet glass carrier solves that and newtons rings totally, to give pro level results.
