At the core of this kit is the Basic Film Carrier 35 MK2 which offers superior film flatness and is capable of scanning all 35mm film formats including half frame, full frame (standard 35mm), and panoramic sizes in a single capture. Not only does the Basic Film Carrier 35 MK2 support all standard 35mm formats but is also capable of holding 110, 126, APS and Minox film with optional internal cassettes! This carrier also supports full border scanning with our optional Full Border Scanning Cassette.

The all-new Light Source 35 is an ultra bright light source capable of illuminating up to 35mm film with perfect uniformity and a high 97+ CRI rating for high color accuracy. Also included is a Light Source 35 Adapter Plate for the Basic Film Carrier 35 MK2 to keep your carrier firmly attached to the light source, ensuring a confident workflow.

Lastly, the Essential Kit for 35mm Scanning includes the all-new Basic Riser Mini MK2 which brought a host of updates including an improved and more robust head design, integrated 1/4-20 mounting point and a more robust build. All this means that you can safely support nearly any mirrorless camera and macro lens combination as well as smaller DSLR camera and macro lens combinations.
