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.
Most importantly, our latest Essential Kit for 35mm Film Scanning includes our all-new Basic Riser Mini MK3. We listened to user feedback and designed this copy stand with standard DSLR and Mirrorless cameras in mind. Previously, our Basic Riser MK2 was limited to smaller mirrorless cameras with small, usually adapted manual focus macro lenses. We’ve now gone with a significantly larger column and head design that removes all compromises from previous designs.

35mm Full Border Scanning Cassette - This accessory replaces the standard cassette in your Basic Film Carrier 35 MK2 allowing you to scan out to the sprocket holes of your 35mm film which shows the sprockets and film information! Not only is this an aesthetic choice but also handy when archiving film.
35mm Film Scanning Hood - The 35mm Film Scanning Hood goes directly on to your Basic Film Carrier 35 MK2 and helps cut out extraneous light from around your film scanning station. This increases contrast, prevents unwanted light pollution and reflections/glare.
