We are beyond excited to collaborate with our friends at Freestyle here in LA on the exclusive launch of our Essential Kit for 35mm Film Scanning and our Light Source 35! We’ve been working on these products for the last few months and we are very excited to share them with you!
The all-new Light Source 35 shown with our Essential Kit for 35mm Film Scanning. This kit is everything you need to get started scanning your 35mm film at home with a digital camera.
Our Basic Film Carrier 35 MK2 is a revolutionary update that will reshape the landscape of 35mm film scanning. Using shared parts and processes from our Pro Film Carrier 35, this all-new Basic Film Carrier 35 MK2 offers superior film flatness to its predecessor and is capable of scanning all 35mm film formats including half frame, full frame (standard 35mm), and panoramic sizes in a single capture.
The Light Source Mini is the follow up to our 4x5 Light Source Basic and is launching as we celebrate our three year anniversary of launching film scanning light sources. A ground-up redesign with more light output and dedicated to users who are scanning 35mm and 120 film, this light is designed to stand along our existing “pro” and “basic” light sources. Despite it’s size, it is 4 stops brighter than our 4x5 Light Source Basic and equal in brightness to our 5x7 Light Source Pro!
The Pro Riser MK3 is our most robust copy stand to date. It’s capable of supporting up to digital medium format systems and scanning 4x5 film with up to a 105mm full frame equivalent macro lens! With a redesigned head, a scale on the column and our smoothest geared copy stand yet, this is sure to be a key part of your setup.
DSLR/Mirrorless scanning is relatively new to film, but it gives added speed, convenience, and precision for capturing frames in full detail. Modern cameras with high resolution also capture slide film with better reproduction quality and color due to CMOS sensor technology.
All you need is a digital camera, a computer, a way to hold negatives flat, and a small light table or similar light source. If you’re a digital photographer interested in shooting film, a hybrid photographer looking for a resourceful way to scan your own film, or a photographer exclusively shooting film with the desire to quickly and easily scan at home or the office, using a digital camera is a great option. You can make use of the digital camera you already own or easily source one used or new. (P.S.- you don’t need the newest and greatest to get great scans)
Early Beta Unit of our MK1 Film Carrier
Negative Holder
Keeps the film in place for image capture. The film needs to be completely flat for sharp photos.
Light Source
Illuminate the negative from below. Consistent light allows for even capture without vignetting.
Camera Stand
Hold the camera over the light source. Avoiding shake will reduce blur and sharpen images.
Digital Camera
Most digital cameras work well. Tethered capture to a computer makes workflow much faster.
While varying concepts for digital camera film scanning exist today, MK1 is unique in that it scans full length, uncut rolls of 35mm film. Providing a much faster means of operation, having the ability to scan an uncut roll can allow an operator to scan an entire 36 exposure roll in 5 minutes or less. Alternatively, you can scan strips of 35mm film. Film Carrier MK1 can scan 35mm full and half frame film in strips or full rolls.
Using a unique channel technology, each frame is forced flat using the guide path. This ensures there is near zero distortion for sharp images across the frame, perfect for using lenses that are sharpest at larger apertures or MF camera sensors.
Because of advancements in CMOS sensor technology, camera scanning now gives greater editing control for positive films like Kodak Ektachrome. Additionally, multiple exposures can be stacked if needed for greater dynamic range.
Unlike traditional flatbed scanning or scanning with strip holders, the MK1 quickly scans entire rolls without spending time having to carefully align delicate negatives.
Because of the unique channel design, no part of the film emulsion comes into contact with MK1. Unlike other roller mechanisms that touch your image area, this only touches the outermost edges along the sprocket holes.
