Update: Camera Companion by HolyMoose.com offer similar solution for the Nikon F100 camera. It requires use of a MS Access compatible database and you have to find your own cable.
Press release (this was initially released in June but I just recently received the press kit):
Film photographers can now enjoy the same level of data management and camera customization as digital photographers
Houston, TX – June 11, 2015 Meet Meta35, the new software and hardware kit that brings the convenience of digital data management and camera customization into the world of film photography. Meta35 takes the exposure information from compatible film cameras (see list below) and embeds it into your scanned images, eliminating the need to manually record this information in the field. This saves you time so you don’t miss that next shot. Meta35 also lets you fine-tune your film camera to fit your particular needs. You can easily configure and save your camera settings from your computer — a big help as film cameras lack large screens for navigating the settings menu.
Features:
“Photographers are rediscovering the unique experience of shooting film and a look that simply cannot be duplicated with digital photography. We wanted to make the film to digital workflow easier and more complete so photographers can focus on the creative side of the process. There has never been a better time to rediscover the magic of shooting film.” Arty Kamshilin, Promote Systems lead engineer.
Supported cameras – Meta35 is compatible with select SLR cameras that record data:
Compatible with the Windows 7 SP1 and up and Mac OS X 10.9 and up.
