It looks very useful. I just placed a pre-order for the D850 and will very likely get this adapter too.
Congratulations Gary. The D850 is looking very good.
I have been very happy with my D800e. I opted not to upgrade to the D810 (also an excellent camera), but the D850 appears to be a high resolution FF version of the excellent D500, so this was an easy decision.
It looks like a slide copier – and that’s no bad thing. I have no idea why it is marketed as a product specifically for Nikon cameras, though.
BTW I saw some b&w scans with a Leica T. It was on Twitter so I couldn’t judge too well, but the results seemed pretty darned good.
According to the description on that website, this ES-2 digitizing adapter is only compatible with the D850. For all other cameras the ES-1 slide copier is recommended.
Once I decided to start using my DSLR to scan my negatives I discovered that product. I decided to go a different route but I’m sure it’s usable. Scanning with a DSLR is great option. I wrote a brief post about how’s it done here: http://www.filmbeginnings.com/?p=196
