2:09 hello little guy on the left
Y E S!
It is funny that even after all the evolution in digital photography over the past 20 years or so, film still does it's thing perfectly well.
Well it's like an umbrella..timelessly useful
actually old films looks shitty
film is getting better because digital sensor and personal comupter getting better and more available
@@aLittlePal Are you serious?Have you ever seen in your life a negative or positive film or a print photograf from film?
Man, file this under "things I didn't know I desperately needed"
This is so cool! Every camera manufacturer should make one of these!
Looks very simple and cheap to manufacture. I'm sure that soon Chinese clones will start appearing on eBay and other online marketplaces for a fraction of the price.
@@ErebosGR they won't. This thing isn't new at all and still no cheap alternatives
There's a Manufacturer called Camflix that makes them for 35 mm film and other formats as well . www.amazon.com/Camflix-Digitizing-Adapter-135-Negatives/dp/B081235N9V

@@CristianoUyeno That's considerably more expensive than the Nikon.
You can probably 3d print something like this. Wouldnt be surprised if somebody on thingiverse already made something like this.
I'd like to see Jordan shoot an episode DPReview on 16mm.
Yes please!
and then each frame with this camera .
And then the 'behind the scenes' bonus video with all the developing and scanning process + comparison between the digital and analog ways (covering the time and funds spent) oh yea
There are some really good shots in there.
2:09 Oh, hi
Chris, I love the photo of the leaf on the street. Epic.
When using these film adapters you should also turn off IBIS and lens optical stabilisation.
incredible, im getting a d750 soon and it will go perfectly with my N80.
I miss the Agfa too. Great old shots!
You lived in UK and doesn't change your accent.
I like that.
Been using this with the Sony A7RIII and the FE 90mm macro for a while and it's quite good
Keen on checking this out. Also, got to say, the music from 6:00 on was amazing.
Oh man, I absolutely need this!
0:09 is like some dude in a nu metal band with a stage name, like, DJ Chrispy Chris lol.
I just finished digitizing 1,460 Kodachrome slides my father-in-law took in Europe during their seven years there. The system was very easy to use and while it is very time consuming, and I did edit nearly every one of them because the Kodachrome has started taking on a bluish cast due to its age--1960's. Thanks for the vid, it assisted me in getting started. Now I am beginning to tackle old negatives starting in 1981.
Thought it was Ektachrome that ages that way.
@@jdw715 Sadly it is Kodachome too
Who's the cute little doggo at 2:09? Would he be amenable to appearing in a few videos?
great pics chris !!!
Could you guys ever do an analog review series?
The Nikon es-2 film digitizing adapter set works fine on a Sony a7 series camera with a full frame e-mount lens around 40-60mm. The adapter screws to a 52mm or 62mm filter thread.
If your full frame e-mount lens doesn't have a 52mm or 62mm filter thread you need a cheap step-up or step-down ring to 52mm or 62mm. Also if your e-mount lens can't focus very close you need a cheap extension tube which will permit the lens to focus closer.
The step-up or step-up down ring and the extension tube can be found very easily on eBay with a total cost around 20-40€.
Good tip about the fact that you don't need to worry about camera movement - it all moves together.
Film was golden era :) such an amazing color tones so vintage and nostalgia
Still is, if you want it to be 😃
I own the ES-1, which is still available for half the price and is very usable for mounted slides. As he states, shoot NEF for maximum flexibility. This newer system, the ES-2 is much more convenient with the built-in mode to reverse negative film. A much-improved workflow!
Great to see this. Question: since the mount is a threaded step-ring, could one potentially use this with Canon DSLR?
Don’t dis the HP5! - that was my go-to film stock when I was at college - over 30 years ago... I also remember hand processing XP1 film back then, though I was glad when XP2 came out, and you could just hand it to a lab. Ahhh, analog!
Hi, I have checked with a retail store and read the instruction booklet. This kit does not work with the 105mm macro (as you mentioned). It is beyond the focusing distance allowed by the scanner.
Young Chris looks like asian Linus from linustechtips xD
songochang With a beard
The ear ring u think
Really cool images man
I use my Z6 with an adapter plus a 60mm F glass, for this and it works very well.
loved the soundtrack
Good choice of music in the background, feels 80s ;)
Hi Chris
Thanks for a great channel. A question. As I understand you are a fly fisherman. What fps would your choose when filming someone fly casting?
I’ve used this for about a year and loved it. Had to upgrade to a flatbed scanner cause I shoot mostly medium format now. Recently sold my Nikon so If anyone is interested I’m selling my adapter at a used priced.
I'm confused... Isn't that the guy from Camera Conspiracies in the black n white opening picture?
That's the real conspiracy...
I've shot a few thousand negatives with an ES-2 over the past few months. I did have a D610, and was using Control My Nikon to control it to shoot the film With CMN, you can switch Live View to a show a negative of the image and get an idea of what it looks like, even when the camera is shooting in RAW. Having now bought a D850, I find that I get better color out of the negative-conversion algorithm in the camera. (Probably a better reflection of my lack of post skills than anything else.) Use a Lume Cube 2.0 with diffuser as a light source. Pretty slick so far.
Works just fine with a Pentax K-1ii and Pentax FA 50mm Macro 2.8 out of the box. Uses 52mm filter threads, BTW. On some cameras with some lenses macro tubes might be necessary. Total fun.
Ah, this reminds me to continue making a similar device of my own, a project that has been going on for about, um, 2 years now... I've got macro bellows, I just need to figure out how to connect and hold the negative steadily in front of it and most importantly get even lighting behind it...
Exelent tool 👍🙏 exelent photography 😁😁
Love the show!! SOOOO why no battery grip for the 780? Isnikon keeping it under raps like the Z series????
Outstanding job on this Chris, I shoot and scan lots of film and just did a tutorial on my channel of ilford sfx infrared film. This adapter is so much simpler than the Epson scanner I use. I'm going to check this out I'm curious if it will work on micro 4/3.
This is incredible. I can’t believe Nikon builds the negative reversal into the camera. Omg I wish Fuji would do this so I could scan with my 80mm macro.
It's limited though and only give you a jpeg, which may not be a problem for everyone. Always better off shooting in raw and using separate software to get the photo inverted and colour corrected.
Technically, the ES-2 will not work with the 105mm lens to make a 1:1 copy unless you can extend the distance from the front of the lens to the ES-2 by a considerable amount (314mm from the sensor). I have read that one workaround is to use 17 UV filters (with the glass removed) attached to the front of the lens.
thanks for doing the math on this, I have a macro rail (with measured increments) you think this may work? Just extend the film holder out 314 from the sensor and have the camera on a tripod at the same level?
I have a 90mm 2:1 macro lens. How does that impact the distance from the slide to the front of the lens?
@@robgerety Probably the easiest way to figure that out is to mount your camera on a tripod and compose an image using the slide or negative as your subject mounted to something steady. Once you have achieved good focus and an image that fills the sensor with the negative, simply measure the distance between the film and the sensor plane, which will be indicated on the top of the body of the camera by a an image of a circle with a line through it. My guess is that you will be looking at somewhere around 270 mm for the focal length of your lens (but this is just an educated guess). Buying 17 UV filters and removing the glass is a non-starter. I don't think the ES-2 system will be practical for me unless I buy a shorter focal length (~55mm) macro lens, so I will probably use a copy stand with a regular enlarger-type of negative carrier with a small light table to backlight the film. Using this method, I will have a copy stand that will allow me to copy regular artwork as well. There are plenty of youtube videos that will demonstrate this. I hope this helps.
@@robgerety I replied to this, but in the higher thread.
@@s.vancourt9541 Thanks. I think you're right. I can figure out the distance from end of lens to slide that works with my lens to fill the frame and focus. The problem is that there does not seem to be a slide holder on the market that has adjustable tube length and that gives the min/max length specs. I'm not sure how big a market this is, but if someone put an adjustable length duplicator on the market I think it would sell.
Kinda frustrating, this is currently backordered in the U.S. with no idea of how long the wait will be -- so I ordered the ES-1 until then. Looking forward to trying this, thx!
I've done this with a tabletop tripod, macro lens, and a lightbox... back in the day.
I need this joint 🔥👀👀👀👀
Good video :-) how is this different from Nikon es-1 ? Is the latter more manual ?
Motivating. Next month, if I stick at it I may have finished the task.
Will this thing work properly on a 90mm 2:1 macro lens with 67mm filter threads and a canon R5? Assuming i will step it down to 52.
What is the specifics lens requirement to make this adapter works? Are the ancient lens like 55/3.5 Micro worked?
Will this adapter work with a Voigtlander Macro APO Lanthar 65mm f/2 lens (67mm filter thread) on a Sony a7R IV body? Would there be any focusing, cropping and vignetting issues with this setup? I don't need in-camera processing. Just shoot RAW and post process.
Amazing!
I Like it!
Wow great i need that
maybe makes sense to face the emulsion side towards the lens and not shooting through the strip layer.
And sadly no adapter for medium formats 4.5x6 > 6x9
Your video says I can use a Nikon 60 mm or Micro Nikkor 105 2.8, but I have been unable to use my brand new ES-2 adapter with my Nikkor 105 2.8. I think I need some extra extension tubes. Do such extension tubes exist. My unit came with a very short extension tube and a 1 1/4 inch long extension tube but neither works with my Nikkor Micro 105. Any suggestions??
Does this work with the D3300 or do I have to upgrade to d780 just to obtain this feature
any medium format options?
any plans to review Z7 firmware 3.0 ? and compare with Canon R/RP
They need to bring this feature into their Z cameras asap!!
the light source is also important, anyone knows what light he’s using?
Can I use this apparatus with my Nikon D3200 with my kit lens?
how well do you think this will work with a 18-75 kit lens with a d3400 ? if at all ?
I built a very crude, Tap Plastics version of this for a Sony A6000 using the 30mm/3.5 macro lens. The part that I couldn't make was a nice film carrier. I would replace mine with this if I thought a 49mm/62mm adapter would work. I use Silverfast HDR and would not need the Nikon software.
I have a DX sensor D200 and micro nikkor 55mm --- I am guessing this is going to crop the image. Also own a Oly OMD M1 mark ii that has that half size sensor in it...guessing its going to crop even more of the image with the 50mm macro (Sharper than the micro nikkor!)
How about slides? Also I have a lot of photo discs, I have a Nikon D800 and would like to know how to get these on my camera.
Care to share link to that particular light? Thanks.
thanks
Would it be compatible with my 105mm macro lens?
how would you recommend scanning 120 format film?
tri x 400, ?
ilfordhp5 for me dude . did thee try it when in london ?
Any such adapter that could be used with Fujifilm cameras?
Is there something like this for a Canon DSLR? Thanks in advance!
What camera body was this? I never knew about this negative feature
Can this be use on another camera with the same filter thread?
Do these work with medium format film as well? Or only 35mm?
This does not work with the 105mm Macro. minimum focus is 12 inches, would it with with the addition of an extension tube?
Will the DX option be able to be mounted on my Nikon 1?
Cool!
Guys anyone knows if this film scanner is usable on an adapted m4/3 camera or it works only natively on Nikon cameras?
Does anyone know if this would work with a d500 and the 105 micro lens?
Wow amazing wonder if Fuji could
Fuji are interested in you using their X-series simulations, disposable cameras, instax, and killing off their real film stocks
Recently I came back to analog photography. I bought the Epson V550 scanner for scanning negatives and I think this is a better solution. The price is similar and the scanner allows me to make larger changes during the scan.
Here's a comparison between a camera scan I made and my Epson V550. Note that while the Epson boasts large DPI figures, you're not actually getting that much resolution out of the negative. I would take camera scanning over a flatbed every time. imgur.com/a/GPKar6X
@@daviduuwastaken wow, the Epson 505 is so bad
Nice adapter. I have an old Nikon film scanner, but this looks like a nice way to do it much more quickly. Not as many correction options though. The scanner is amazing at recovering faded film and removing any dust and scratches. Hopefully they add support for the Z7 with firmware maybe.
You should try setting up a really high res camera with a really good 100mm macro lens and see the quality difference.
Can it be used with a reverse mount macro lens?
Any one knows if this can be used with a Tokina 100mm macro on a D780 without too much difficulty? Thanks.
Does it work with 120 film or 35mm only
Canthe Nikon ES-2 film scanner adapter still be used on the Z6II?
I should add that the instructions that came with my unit say it can be used with the Nikkor AF-S DX Micro 40 mm f2.8 G lens, or the AF-S Nikkor Micro 60 mm f2.8G. Nothing said in the instructions about using it with the Micro Nikkor 105.
Has ANYONE used this with the 105 macro? I want to buy this but have heard that it wont work because of how close it is to the lens?
Does this work with 120 film?
Hello Sir, thank you for the informative and well made review. Would a AFS Micro NIKKOR 40 mm work with this adapter ? I imagine it would but I would like to make sure. Also, have you tested stand alone scanners? If yes, do they yield better results ?
I thank you in advance for your reply. Best regards. Michael
I think so, but you will need an APSC DSLR
Don't you realise that you need a letter from God for DPReview to reply...silly boy.
Yes you are probably right
Correct me if I'm wrong,
So basically i can just pull out the film from the roll after I've shot it and straight up take pictures? Or do they have to go through a chemical process and then take the pictures?
You need to get your film developed before digitizing or printing it. Until it's developed, any additional exposure to light, outside the camera, will destroy all images on it.
Does it work on other camera manufacturers?
need to get my hands on this kit, but struggling to find anyone in the UK with stock. Great video, thank you :)
Nooooo way! Moments after I commented on this, I checked a store I've looked at a couple of times this year and they had ONE in stock! Bagged!
@@RussDnB What was the store? I'm having the same issue!
@@Pfth Park Cameras. Just looked and they seem to be in stock at the mo too. Good luck!
@@RussDnB Thanks!
Agfa & Tri-X here. I miss Agfa, too.
Would this work on a canon mounting wise? its pretty easy to edit without the built in presets, just flip the curves etc
I think it doesn't matter, you can just use it on any DSLR with proper lens :)
I'm trying to make my ancient Nikon Coolscan last forever. I have an embarrassing number of slides and negatives to digitize some day. I have a tendency to pull out particular ones when I happen to think of it, and then just generally feel guilty the rest of the time. By the way, did you ever try Kodak Ektar 25? Really cool film stock.
If it ever starts acting up on you, there's an ebay user named nikon_coolscan who does great work servicing the machines. If you're in the UK or Europe, you can check out lincolnscan.co.uk/
"HP5... Meeeh..."
*_EXCUSE ME??_*
I will say it's incredibly sharp film and very forgiving. Just never sang for me. Now Fuji Neopan 400! The best!
@@niccollsvideo weelllll if you are shooting at boxspeed I could understand this comment, but at 1600 *chef's kiss*
Yeah, I shot a lot of Ilford HP5 because in school we were shown how good it looked pushed to ISO 800. That was handy for low light, and also for a student, HP5 cost less than Kodak...
@@brightboxstudio and then there's my photo teacher who has expressly forbidden me from pushing any film.. Too bad I started developing my own before this class, lmao
@@niccollsvideo That's funny cause you sold me my first rolls of HP5 many years ago! (As well as Neopan 100 Acros)
are there 3rd party brands for this kind of items? cuz the ES-2 seem a bit too expensive for a piece of plastic (not even glass) haha :P
