this data can now be transformed into a CSV using Google Sheets. Exercise left to the reader, I merged the date and time columns together and formatted them to what ExifTool expects. ExifTool can accept a CSV, so let's do that.:
SourceFile,ExposureTime,fNumber,LightSource,MeteringMode,ExposureProgram,FocalLength,ExposureCompensation,MaxApertureValue,DateTimeOriginal,ISO,Make,Model
01.jpg,1/2500,f/4,Normal,Colour Matrix,M Mode,85mm,0,f/1.8,2026:02:20 21:33:44,320,Nikon,F5
02.jpg,1/2000,f/4,Normal,Colour Matrix,M Mode,85mm,0,f/1.8,2026:02:20 21:33:48,320,Nikon,F5
I haven't fully tried this yet, but that should batch update a full folder of scans with the camera metadata provided frame numbers are kept consistent with file naming. Tweak tags and items as desired.
And that's it. Add GPS coordinates for a final flourish with something like ExitToolGUI, or not. These merge into Immich really well, or your favorite photo management program. Modern tagging and organization with your favorite film.
This should be similar for F100/F90/N90, although they record different data, and I haven't tested this exact cable configuration. The Nikon Photo Secretary manual details what metadata those cameras support. Photo Secretary also works on win11 provided you install 16-bit Install Shield from Microsoft, but it seems unnecessary.
Hopefully this helps others in the future. Cheers.
