Ok today I found a very nice blogpost of Axel Rietschin (http://axelriet.blogspot.com/)
how to use the Nikon Coolscan IV, V and LS5000 on Windows 7 64Bit!

Since I´m using Windows 7 64Bit I had to use the (thanks to Microsoft) solution over the “Virtual Windows XP” and scan from there!

And since Nikon doesnt seem to be able to support the 64Bit with drivers there was no other way to use my Nikon Coolscan IV.

(Windows 7 is out since 22.10.09 and NIKON still have no drivers for it! Great support!)

Anyway today I found this blog with an easy(working) solution to use those scanners with Windows 7 64Bit!

here´s the link :  http://axelriet.blogspot.com/2009/10/nikon-ls-40-ls-50-ls-5000-scanners-on.html

here´s the file you´ll need (there´s a link in the post to it) : http://www.fastpictureviewer.com/bin/NikonUsbScanners64.zip

Installation is also explained there! (turn on the scanner, got to device manager (gerätemanager) search for the scanner (a yellow (!) will be next to it, right click “update drivers” (treiber aktualisieren), browse my computer for driver software (treiberpfad manuell angeben), then next, install, FINISH!)

hope that works for you too!

Thanks again to Axel Rietschin (http://axelriet.blogspot.com/)!!!

see ya

I´ve been in Vienna with a buddy yesterday to see whats going on in the Audimax of the University of Vienna.

Basically its(was) a demonstration about “free education for all”.. to read more…: http://www.vienna.at/news/wien/artikel/audimax-besetzer-wollen-durchhalten/cn/news-20091023-06041506

I´ve to say I was kinda disappointed. I imagined the whole place stuffed with students. Well not… not so many.

I used APX400 pushed to ~1000 iso in XTOL (15min 20°C), but I´m not really happy with the results. Its too contrasty.

Oh and dont be disturbed by the mega-scratch runnig over all 36 pictures…

starting with some random streetshots:

He´s a security dog. very important for your safety.

HIP-shot!

What a nice photo to start:
