The Fuji S1 can also be used with Nikon lenses. That's what I'm using for
getting images of my micros.

>> Dear John and others following this discussion,
>>
>> Although there are a few programs available that will organise your images,
>> or claim to do so, most become excessively slow and unmanageable when you
>> handle 1000's of images. Also, there is the risk of the program becoming
>> outdated, the company producing it going into receivership etc.
>> The Windows explorer i.e. your ordinary file manager is the most foolproof
>> way of organising your images, when you make folders by family, and then
>> name the files after the entire species name. You can consider putting the
>> species name first, followed by the generic name, in any case, the find
>> function will take care of any lost species as already described.
>>
>> When a folder for a family becomes too large, I put it onto disk.
>>
>> I do have an Access database with 30,000+ names with more than 1000 linked
>> images, but these images are only thumbnails and combined take up less than
>> 1MB in space. Adding the full-size images makes the database too slow. I
>> don't think there is any program that can circumvent that problem
>>
