Or, he can go to a service with a Fuji Frontier machine and ask for
the CD service, and they will do it on the fly, and the Frontier
machine WILL read the date on the IX magnetic track of the film, which
is often important for the image (i.e. I have the APS adapter for my
brother's Nikon 4000ED scanner, a Ferrari amongst the film scanners,
but I can tell you when that there is a visible difference between a
photo scanned by myself, and one scanned by the Frontier...)

Here are a few photos taken with my Minolta S-1, and scanned by a
Frontier Machine, note how the "More Photo Details" tells you the
focal lenght of the lens I used, and the aperture, and the exposure
time, and the time of the photograph. Say hello to Tom & Jerry.
