I need a Nikon FH-3 Film Holder

Hi all. I searched all over North America and Europe to buy online a
Nikon FH-3 Film Holder, to no avail. The item has been on backorder for
as long as I can remember. For Some Reason, Nikon didn't include it with
the CoolScan V, and doesn't provide any means to purchase it.

IF anyone has this FH-3 in mint condition (which ususally comes with the
Super CoolScan) and doesn't need it, please post it on eBay. I'll buy it
USD$45 + UPS shipping to Canada if there's a 'buy now' option. (it
usually costs $15/new, but I need it NOW!) I'll pay PayPal or US money
order.

I really don't understand why Nikon 1) didn't include this 'cheap'
accessory with their scanners. 2) I don't understand why Nikon doesn't
provide easy access to this accessory. 3) I don't understand why Nikon
does all it can to turn customers away from them next time. Really.

Thanks all.

B & H received a supply of FH-3's just prior to Christmas. I have already received mine; as I
recall, it was around $14.
