Negative Supply Essential Kit for 35mm Film Scanning (Revised 2025)

Introduction

Introducing our latest, most capable and accessible film scanning kit: Essential Kit for 35mm Film Scanning (Revised 2025)

35mm is the most popular film size on earth, and as such there are many photographers who exclusively use 35mm film. Whether youre actively making photos of scanning your family archives, making the process of scanning your prized images affordable and easy is our goal. Our Essential Kit for 35mm Film Scanning does just that!

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. Weve now gone with a significantly larger column and head design that removes all compromises from previous designs.

Features:

• Scan cut strips or uncut rolls of 35mm film
• Scan full rolls in 2 minutes or less
• Keeps film perfectly flat for sharp scans thanks to our improved double S curve channels in our film scanning cassettes
• Scan the borders/sprockets of your film with our optional 35mm Full Border Scanning Cassette (very popular look and unique to our product)
• Scans 35mm half frame up to panoramic frames in a single capture with included custom masks for each format
• 110, 126, APS and Minox Film Scanning Cassette options available to make this tool multifunctional
• Compatible with most, ungripped DSLR and Mirrorless cameras with short macro lens combinations (Up to 100mm full frame equivalent focal lengths for 35mm film scanning)
