MPN: LS35
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. The Light Source 35 is for lovers of the most ubiquitous format available, beginners just getting into film photography or just for people who need a really great light to scan some of their 35mm family archives.
Don’t let its small size deceive you. While being only slightly larger than our Basic Film Carrier 35 MK2, it still features everything that makes our next generation light sources great: In-house customized and finished acrylic that drastically increases brightness, boasts improved light uniformity, and preserves incredibly high CRI for accurate color and tonal reproduction. It’s small but mighty.
This light source is powered via an included USB cable. You will need to provide your own USB block or use your computer to power the light source. International AC power supplies are available for purchase separately.

The Negative Supply Light Source 35 represents our love for the most ubiquitous film format ever, 35mm. Designed for 35mm film, the Light Source 35 is created for users scanning 35mm (and smaller) requiring a solid, cost effective light source with a high degree of color accuracy and brightness.
Developed just for the Light Source 35, we have designed various adapter plates for our film carriers to be used directly on the light source. We also designed this light source with travel in mind. A robust build rounds out the Light Source 35 making it ideal for someone who scans at home and needs to pack away their tools after each scanning session or even users who want to travel with their setup and want a tough, compact, reliable light source they can scan with on the go.
As a result of recent product innovation, this light source comes with our custom designed and in-house finished internal acrylic that drastically increases brightness, improves CRI rating, and boasts perfect light uniformity. Lastly, this light is powered via an included USB cable. You will need to provide your own USB block or use your computer to power the light source.

Adapter Plates
Upon launch, we have designed adapter plates for each of our current and previous 35mm carriers: the Film Carrier MK1, Basic Film Carrier 35, Pro Film Carrier 35 and Basic Film Carrier 35 MK2. These adapter plates work the same as the rest in our lineup and make sure your film carrier is firmly attached to the light source without any wiggling. It also masks the light from below, giving you a cleaner scan.
Also available is our 35mm Mounted Slide Holder for Light Source 35. This tool is made specifically for our Light Source 35 so you can efficiently scan 35mm mounted slides. This tool is compatible with both modern and vintage 35mm slides.
