Try it and see for yourself. Contrary to advice you have been given, it depends on the software you use whether the scanner looks for spaces between frames or senses the perforations. I can't remember the details, but NikonScan 4 uses one approach whilst Vuescan uses the other. I think an earlier version of NikonScan worked the same way as Vuescan, but that may not be compatible with your scanner.I have some questions about the aperture/scan range and the frame detection of this Nikon SA-30 roll film adapter. I am looking for a film scanner than can continuously scan a whole roll of film without frame separations. Actually, there is overlap between frames in my film, but I want to reconstruct the whole sequence of the frames digitally as that in the film. I hope that the scanned images also have overlapped area that I can put them together in software.
You can "convert" your SA-21 into an SA-30 (obviously without the film spool, but that is no hardship) with the modification shown on this page:
http://nikonscanner.tripod.com/SA-21_to_SA-30.gif
simply make the link between the contacts shown.
Alternatively, the two contacts of the link in question connect directly to pins 16 and 17 of the blue rear connector on the SA-21. Looking into the rear of the SA-21 with the adapter the correct way up, pin 13 is on the middle row on the left of the connector, so just count 4 and 5 pins across and you get to the two pins in question. These can be shorted together using some very fine wire - thin enough so that the operation of the connector contact is not interfered with. Then hold the link wire in place with some adhesive tape - Scotch Magic tape works quite well for this.
Before pushing the SA-21 back into the scanner, make sure that you pierce the adhesive tape over each contact in the connector block with a pin. This will prevent the corresponding pins in the scanner body being subjected to additional pressure as the adapter is pushed home.
Be sure to open the clip at the back of the scanner and place a suitable film receptacle (a clean glass jar) there before feeding an entire roll of film into the modified SA-21.
