mailto:>rabaron@pipeline.comNope. But I have a bit of a crazy idea that might work. When you get your film processed, have the lab mount them in slide mounts and then you can use the Nikon LS-2000 which has a stack loader which holds about fifty slides. This of course may be a problem if you want to do conventional printing. It's a little awkward handling individually cut frames with a carrier unless you also want to use a slide carrier for the enlarger.
I should note that I have not yet seen from Nikon an update to their scanner software that has a black and white setting if you're doing B/W. It only has color options for negs. I'm assuming they will fix this at some point.
Hope this is of some help.
