Yes, even my normally tolerant wife had a minor shock when she found out
that the rollfilm adapter was ~$450. I shoot Provia (although itching to
try Velvia 100F) and just feed the whole roll of uncut strip to the
rollfilm adapter. The LS-4000 (and other Nikon models) can also take slide
mount adapter. I think it can take 50 mounted slides at a time. They just
drop the price, but the LS-4000 plus an accessory like that is the price of
a decent DSLR! I invest in it so that I can stay w/ film a bit longer. If
you have lots of things to scan, and can justify the cost, it does make
life a lot easier.

Richard, your scanner...do I read correctly that you can feed it a
whole slidefilm and go away? Is that in "roll-form" or mounted
slides?
I just spend about 3h scanning a (mounted) roll of provia last night,
inserting each slide one by one. A hell of a work.... :(
I've seen some scanners (N*k*n, I think) where a
"single-slide-feeder" was optional. Sadly, the price of such a combo
of scanner + feeder turned out to be the GNP of a mid-size nation :(
Are there any affordable alternatives?
