Sleeping otter

I shot this image of a sleeping otter back around 1986 or so at the Seattle aquarium. That is mist coming off the water in the background. I am sure I used an FE-2 and my 300mm f/4.5 AIS Nikkor on this one. The film is Ektachrome 100 scanned with the Coolscan LS-8000

Nice shot. I can't blame the guy. I would be doing it too.

That is so great!

I need a coolscan so bad for my Kodachrome slides (been looking for good deals on a 5000). That scan came out great. Love the detail in the fur.

I have film carriers for 35mm strip film and 120 strip film but none for 2x2 slides or I would offer to scan them for you. I do have an Epson flatbed scanner which accepts slides but the quality is not up to the Coolscan's, not by a country mile. CoolScan 5000's can still be found on Fleabay but I am surprised how expensive they still are, $1500-$2000. I spent about $3000 for my LS-8000 but it has the ability to scan up to 6x7 MF as well as down to 110 Instamatic with the right film holders. It also has ED glass in the scanner lens, unlike the LS-5000.
