In July of 2019 we launched our Film Carrier MK1 for 35mm film on Kickstarter. That campaign saw early and great success, and inspired us to continue down this path of revolutionizing the way film photographers everywhere scan their film. Since that time we’ve launched our Film Carrier 120, 4x5 Film Holder, various professional light sources, copy stands, and numerous additional accessories.  

We didn’t stop there. Today we’re thrilled to finally launch scanning support for an even larger format: 8x10 film. Our 8x10 Film Holder, 8x10 Light Source Pro, and Pro Riser XL are the perfect trio of well thought and designed tools built to help tell your story in scanning your film. Available a la carte or in various kit combinations, we’re here to meet your 8x10 scanning needs.

8x10 Film Holder- A modular platform for all formats

Features at a glance:

• 8x10 or 5x7 interchangeable ANR glass surface utilizes two sheets of glass to keep film perfectly flat

• Interchangeable inserts to utilize our Film Carrier MK1, Film Carrier 120, and more as a cohesive system

• Magnetic clamps to facilitate quickly changing from one format to another, and additionally encourage ANR glass to keep film flat

• Spring loaded leveling for perfect alignment on every capture interchangeable inserts for 35mm and 120, magnetic clamps for quickly changing all inserts, spring loaded leveling for perfect alignment, and mounting points to create rigid riser/camera/carrier setup. This is literally a one stop shop for anyone looking to shoot any format.

Pro Riser XL - one riser to do it all

The Pro Riser XL is our newest addition to our family of copy stands. At 50% taller, wider, and deeper than our Pro Riser MK2, this is our ultimate offering for 5x7 and 8x10 film scanning. The most advanced copy stand we have ever made, our Pro Riser XL allows anyone scanning larger formats to scan without compromising. 

Features at a glance:

• New bearings allow for smoother raising and lowering of the head (point where camera is mounted)

• Camera mounting point includes new adjustments to guarantee a level scanning plane

• Fine and coarse focus adjustment knobs at the base of the Pro Riser X: ensure accurate and quick focusing adjustment

8x10 Light Source Pro (95 or 99 CRI) - bigger & brighter

We are all really excited to be offering two different versions of the new 8x10 Pro Light. There is a 95CRI variant and a 99CRI variant. The higher the CRI, the higher the color fidelity. If you’re scanning mostly black and white then the 95CRI is for you but if you’re a discerning photographer who is shooting both C41 and E6 films then the 99CRI light source is going to be far more accurate

Features at a glance:

• Fully fan cooled chassis 

• Modular light Panels (Upgradable by us in the future)

• Masks for different formats 

• The ability to cut the power to certain bulbs to cut down on wasted light and conserve energy.

• Mounting brackets to secure the light to our Pro Riser XL and 8x10 Mount
