Minolta Advanced Photo System AD-10 Adapter

Description

Films in Advanced Photo System are usually returned from the photo finishers in a film cassette. Because the AD-10 Advanced Photo System Adapter holder adopts a film-loading mechanism like that of compact cameras, you can simply drop the film cassette into the holder, and insert it to the scanner.

An optional accessory for Minolta Dimâge Dual Scan, Dual Scan II, and ScanSpeed film scanners, the Advanced Photo System AD-10 adapter allows users of these scanners to handle Advanced Photo System film cassettes with a minimum of effort. Minolta's standard film holder allows insertion of four slides; adding this accessory increases your maximum capacity to an impressive 40 frames.

The motorized film-advance mechanism in this adapter is particularly useful when combined with the Index Scanning feature of the scanner's software. This combination of tools allows you to view a low-resolution version of each image on the film cassette all on one screen. For additional flexibility, the Multiple Frame-Scanning feature allows you to batch-scan nonconsecutive frames.

Not all Minolta film scanners are equipped for use with this adapter. Users of the Multi or Multi II scanner require the AD-100 adapter, while the QuickScan design does not permit adapter usage. The AD-10 adapter will be of particular use to imaging professionals who demand maximum efficiency and productivity from their equipment. --Jill Lightner
