I scan my 120 film by taking pictures of the negatives with a 35mm point and shoot, develop those images in a prison toilet, then use the cracked camera of a circa 2011 iPhone 4S and the light from my Honda Civic as a backlight to convert the negatives. It's a long process but it works for me.
sounds fun
#slowdown
would love to see video abt that. Make a tutorial bro haha
Results?
Hahaha
I find the light from the Honda Civic too bright.
POV: you love your epson scanner and Linus just revealed that you’re not actually his homie
I felt betrayed too ahaha. I’m planning to purchase an Epson scanner. Any recommendations on which model? I see a lot of 600s & 700s
@@KeenKiyoshi v600 has been working great for me
Thank you for the video. I have an Epson V500 and a Lomography 120 Carrier. My results improved after getting the Lomography holder. When I shoot a weekend hike I send it to a Lab. But the price is over $100 1, 2 times a mont
I want to switch to Camera Captures technique but the cost is prohibited. Now Im getting into 4x5 and Digital Camera capture is the way to go.
#theluckyone
@@Zetaphotography have u any experience in the lomography 35mm scanning Mask? I thought the results are the same to the epson holders. I'm going to buy an epson scanner soon too (v550 or v600) and not really sure abt getting a scanning mask.
I have never scanned film at home due to a lot of people’s poor experiences with flatbed scanners, but have really been interested in using my mirrorless camera as an option. This was a great video Linus! Keep up with the awesome work
I've been scanning 120 negatives and slide film shot with a Horseman 985 for years. Definitely a great idea since going primarily digital and never loosing the touch for film. Just restarted shooting 4x5 with a converted Polaroid Land camera I made myself. Cheers good work Linus.
I love how his head didn’t move while he was scanning the film you see the determination???! We stan a film king
For the last couple years I've been using an epson v600 flatbed. I have had such an on-off relationship with scanning my own film because of the troubles a flatbed gives, but I didn't know any better. I've tried ANR glass, taping straight to the flatbed, and have always struggled with sharpness and time, which has, like yourself, pushed me away from shooting 35mm. I'd love to step into camera scanning! Great video.
I'm in between labs and working on putting together a home lab for me and my little community. Lately I've been snapping pics with my phone against a white screen on my laptop so I can show my friends what I'm shooting. I'm glad you made this because I've been trying to figure out how to digitize my family's boxes of old negatives and camera scanning is definitely looking like the move!!
the winner of the camera scanning giveaway has been chosen!
look to my community tab on youtube for more info. congrats marcel!
I currently just develop and scan at a lab but I'm not particularly thrilled with the max resolution you can get out of a roll of 120 on a noritsu. Noritsu's allow you to do a high dpi scan of 35mm but no such high resolution option for 120. It seems a bit silly that you can get a 35mm noritsu scan with approximately the same dimensions as a 120 noritsu scan. DSLR scanning looks more and more attractive each time I learn more about it. Thanks for the video!
I used to scan everything with a flatbed, but lately I've just sent all my film to your lab!
Thank you Linus, this is super interesting! I just statrted scanning my own film with a DLSR but since I wasn't sure about the results, I tried a set-up without any investment. So I'm currently using a shoes box with a small cut-out window and a matte glass on it to better diffuse the light on the film. The light source (my phone) is placed inside the box. It takes me a lot of time but now I could use some of your advice to improve my process. Thanks!
I just started developing and scanning my own film and was between buying a scanner or getting a DSLR scanning set up, this and some other research has made my decision pretty easy. The ability to take this when moving between countries, cities etc makes it a no brainer over a heavy and bulky scanner. Thanks for this video it was great.
I'm currently sending my film to a lab for developing + scanning. Your videos help me cause I'm getting tired of not having full control of the final product & I'm planning on developing (mostly 120mm b&w) film & scanning at home. Love from Switzerland x

A well done review of DSLR "scanning." I've been scanning 35mm to 6x6/6x7/6x9 with a Nikon Super Coolscan 8000 ED for the last 20 years for my important images, and more recently, an Epson V600 for less important stuff. Quality-wise, no complaints with my workflow - but the time it takes is a whole other matter.
So I started using my D850 and AF-Micro Nikkor 60mm to do DSLR copies and am quite impressed. For simplicity, I like the Nikon ES-2 film digitizer. The big plus with this setup is, since the hardware is directly attached to the camera, shutter or even hand movement doesn't affect sharpness.
I've also been using the Digitaliza and Essential Film Holder hardware and like them both. Negative Supply's product looks incredible, although the cost seems to put it out of the range of most film shooters.
Regarding your results; I notice your lab scans seem to have more shadow detail and are slightly sharper than your DSLR scans. I also see purple chromatic aberration in the DSLR scans. The CA can be removed in seconds in post, and sharpness can be brought to par with the lab scans by using f/5.6 on your lens instead of f/8-11. Your raw files should also permit opening up more shadow detail.
Otherwise, an excellent video for newcomers to digitizing film.
Used to have a lab do all my scans, but after watching your videos I started developing and scanning my own film with an epson flatbed scanner. Appreciate your channel and your work man!
Thanks for the informative video, Linus, I love your positive energy! Been letting the film lab handle scanning as well, though I’m thinking hard about buying my own scanner soon.
Yo, a good tip for lining up the camera with the film and making sure it's leveled correctly is to set a small mirror on top of your LED light and line up the lens with the reflection.
So many different size and thickness of mirrors.
I’m in Japan where the film photography industry is still pretty big so they have labs all over and you can even go to the big electronic store to get your film scanned and they come out pretty good most of the time. The only problem is the cost, it can get quite expensive to get rolls scanned and developed most of the time being around $15-20 per roll and most of the time the scans come on a CD unless you pay extra to get them uploaded to the cloud for you to download
Huh, they weren't even kidding then when I saw some vids that Japan in some regards is way behind the west. Not only paying for everything with cash or still using fax machines for a lot of things.
I mean it's awesome that film is still very much alive there because of that. (Here in the Netherlands it can be a bit tricky to even get ANY normal 35 mm film in a store - online it's still okay-ish - and it seems the biggest department store that offered developing films and used to sell their own 35 mm film - a rebranded Fuji 200 - and was my go-to is about to stop offering that service, others will probably follow suit.)
But you'd think that it's cheaper for them to upload the pictures instead of having to burn a CD for that.
I've been looking at different setups for scanning negatives with my camera. Loved this video and definitely one of the best setups I've seen so far. I think my search is over. ❤️
Literally just started shooting film again after a *very* long hiatus and have been trying to figure out the best way to scan my negatives so this is perfectly timed! I was trying to figure out a good light source to get started but using my phone screen is a genius idea until I can build a decent light source (electronics are my specialty! 🤓). Can't wait to actually see how my first negatives in over a decade have turned out!
I have my gf scan my film using the imacon at her school and live in fear that at some point she starts charging lab rates. 😅
don't ever let her go bro
Im so upset that i just got a scanner and then i watch this video realizing iv wasted so much time waiting for scans to be ready when i could have just used my camera 😭
Same
This information has been trending for a few years.
Same. I just bought a scanner 2 weeks ago.
Use it for wet mount scanning if you don’t care about time
Currently using an Epson Perfection V600 to scan my old family photos. I originally bought it to scan my own childhood photos, but during the last month I told my grandmother about what I was doing and she gave me her old film that I'm now scanning and converting. It's been amazing to see photos no one else has seen since 1960 and earlier since they've never been printed. It actually made my mom cry seeing her grandmother so young. This set up would be amazing to help me really bring these 60+ year old photos back to life!
I’ve been wanting to scan my film an slide (including 120 transparencies, mostly from my Hasselblad and Mamiya) analog library for years, but hated my flatbed scanner. This video encourages me to delve into DSLR scanning with a vengeance, and finally be able to digitally work on my earliest work from the early seventies to late nineties before switching to digital with a Nikon D1. I’m excited!
I don't currently scan my rolls at all, I just have a collections of rolls that have never even been processed lmaoo
@@SkaterBrx pretty normal. a lot of the most recognized photographers who shot film did exactly this. distance yourself from your work etc.
i scan with a flatbed and have lost weeks and weeks of my life to that thing 🥺
You got way better quality scans though. This guy dosen't know what hes talking about. Scanner runs you like 300$ and this guy lists off 2 thousand bucks worth of gear LOL
@@quinnking8405 you dont know
i actually just started getting my film scanned by mailing it to a lab, before that I used to just get prints. It’s crazy how much a photo changes when you see it physically rather than digitally, or viceversa. Anyway, scanning is a must now. I would love to learn and try to do it in my own :)
I tried DSLR scanning way back before all these new software tools came out and it drove me nuts so I switched to flatbed. Amazing how fast things have changed, might have to try this out again. Thanks for the walkthrough.
flat bed gang wya???
Thank you for putting together this video! I’m currently using a couple of different labs for my scanning. The idea of being able to scan at home though and have more control over results and save money in the long term is really exciting though. Great video and I look forward to checking out more content from you.
I currently go to a Lab for my scans but I just tried DSLR scanning for the first time at my friend's house 2 weeks ago! It's definitely the way to go! He has the negative supply carriers and my god they are ESSENTIAL. Awesome video! Thanks!
I am an indie music photographer who has 45 years of negatives to scan for 2 retrospective photo books. I have been using a flatbed scanner, and have, instead, decided to use my Lumix GH5. It is a daunting project, but it must get done. I enjoyed your video. Thanks. All good things.
I'm fairly new to film photography, so I drop them off at the lab, but I want to have more creative control in the scanning process. Love your videos man, your enthusiasm and personable personality is very inviting and inspiring for a medium that at first may seem daunting to newbies.
Great video Linus! I recently got into film and I can say I don’t regret making the jump. I have been buying, developing, and scanning all of my film at my local BIPOC owned film shop. While I am glad to support local buisnesses, my wallet has been takin a hit (if u know, u know)
I still plan on going to them for my film and developing, but I would love to have this kit to start scanning at home! Thanks so much for the opportunity, keep up the videos!🤙🏾
I watched this video two nights ago after I got fed up with my epson scanner mid scanning lol... didn’t even realize it was a brand new video until I came back to watch it today more in depth! Now I’m scanning on a budget version of this set up: tripod leaned against the table, g7x mark iii until my macro extension tubes get delivered, the film carried from my scanner, and a led panel!
Glad I came back and watched it again and learned about the give away!
Glad I stumbled upon this video as I've been searching on ways to develop and scan at home! I am currently sending my films to a lab and since we get locked down almost every quarter, I figured investing on equipment is a much viable solution. I think I'll enjoy the process of DIY'ing it as well.
I’ve been scanning with a local lab for years but always wanted to get higher res scans and this looks like the best way to do it at home!
I sent all of my film in to a lab. I had no idea people used dlsr's to scan negatives and they look very nice even compared to a lab. This is game changer! I have been wanting to invest in a digital but still like film.
This gives me a reason to have both because film and digital work together!
I'm currently scanning with a mirrorless setup, the negative carrier I'm using is a 3d printed one that works okay-ish, but I'm seriously considering investing in some negative supply gear.
On the other hand, as someone already mentioned, a small mirror is a great tool to make sure that your film and camera's sensor are completely parallel, and it can be more accurate than using spirit levels
Currently looking to start scanning my own film and this got me super excited about how easy it can be!! Definitely considering DSLR scanning now ♥️
Used to use Epson flatbeds for my medium format. Finally got all the needed equipment for DSLR macro scanning last year and after doing some comparison scans, I concede that DSLR method is sharper. I dunno if I like the results with slides but with negative film it's great.
I really wanted to start shooting with film but the whole send your film to the lab and wait for scans sounded like yet another cost, plus i would have to wait . I had no idea that you could scan film with a dslr! This is really encouraging! I think im finally going to buy a film camera and give it a try
I have a bunch of 35mm negatives I shot from 1982 until I bought my first digital camera around 2009. I now shoot with a Sony A7III and have a classic Minolta 50mm 3.5 macro lens that will try out for scanning. I just purchased the Negative Supply basic 35mm film holder and their 4x5 light source. I'm looking forward to the experience. Thanks for the video!
I've used my phone, the lab, and my printer scanner. None of my scans have looked this good by a longshot. Love the videos brother!!!
Sending film off to a lab and spending way too much, would love to scan with my DSLR instead you make it look so easy! Great video man super helpful
I currently get all the scans from the the lab but definitely getting into dslr scanning since I’m getting my first digital camera next week after several years of shooting only analogue! Very excited on the process and the results are so much more promising than with an Epson!
I currently use an epson v600, scanning 35mm negatives really sucks and I did not have the money to invest in negative lab pro so my colorss came out pretty rough. Then I went and shot some BW 120film, the scans were amazing. I've really been wanting to buy an kit for DSLR scanning but it's really expensive for me since i'm a student and living on my own. Linus congrats on the collab and the best of look to everyone and the person who wins the kit!
I have thousands of film from me and my wife's family and they've never had them scanned. I'd love to do this for them using my camera/macro set up but would really benefit from having this full set-up!
This would be a game changer and would be such an incredible gift to my family, as well as helping me to get into film more!
(Thank you so much for all of this awesome content, it's super useful and I can't wait to hopefully get scanning soon!)
Take care.
Great video, so far whenever it comes to scanning my own film I've been using an Epson flatbed scanner. Seeing this video has gotten me more curious to try DSLR scanning. Time will tell 🤞🏽
I’m scanning with an Epson V600 using Silverfast and then NLP. I enjoyed this workflow until I started shooting more. It takes me quite a while to scan everything. Watching your vid is making me look into upgrading to dslr scanning. Great video as always Linus!
Sending my film to labs is the only thing keeping me from shooting more film. You’re a game changer my dude🙌
Flatbed has been what I have used for 120 film out of my Mamiya 645. Thanks for the video , I love seeing a great alternative to scanning,.
I usually give my films to a really sweat old man, he has a tiny photo shop here in cologne, germany and he's so passionate about his work. I won't stop going to him, but maybe gonna scan with him and the kit and show him what's new in the industry. keep the good content up bud!
I've been scanning on the V600 for a couple of months, it's not nearly as sharp as I'd hoped but it gets the job done. Processing and scanning at home with the Epson helps save money until I can upgrade to a scanning setup with my mirrorless so I'm happy with it so far!
I’ve been getting my negatives scanned in lab because flatbed scanning with a cheaper scanner never seemed like it would give me the consistency and sharpness that I desire and my budget prevented me from having access to a higher quality scanner. Discovering DSLR scanning (mirrorless in my case) was a game changer and actually motivated me to shoot more film and invest in a Pentax 67! 😁
twice ?
I’ve sent my film out to a few local labs but you make it look so easy! Really would love to try this out for myself.
Hey Linus, I love all that you do on your channel and for the film photography community. I have also taken it upon myself to develop and scan my own rolls of film at home with the epson v600 perfection. Scanning the negatives as positives and converting them through NGLP. I hope to see many more awesome videos from you on your channel man! God bless!
I have the same flatbed scanner still in the box. I'm new to the world of film scanning and a lot of people don't like flatbeds so I'm having second thoughts. How do you like it? Have you tried dedicated film scanners?
Oh, man. After watching tons of vids about this topic- your explanation and overall is THE best. Thank U
Hi Linus - thank you for the content. Currently using a flatbed. I’ve been curious about DSLR scanning but I am new into film photography so pacing myself. Stay safe.
I use a flatbed and have mix results. Looking into wet mounting and see if the results are worth the extra step. Great video!
Thanks for your info. video. I soon will be archiving all my parents old negatives and was wondering what will work best. This has helped me a lot. Thank You
I’m WAY late to the contest, but I wanted to thank you for this video. I just purchased my first 120 film camera (Zeiss Icon Nettar) and I will be putting together a home camera scanning setup like this. I’m even using an EOS R! This was really helpful and has steered me in the right direction. Cheers.
Just starting scanning. Have not tried it yet. Your explanations are easy to understand. Thanks much!
I am actually just getting started in scanning my own film! This is definitely an option I think I will go with. Thanks for the video
Love the video! I'm using labs scans for now, but as I start to shoot more I've been looking into developing and scanning myself
Enjoyed the information you shared. I will be using this method for my 4x5 and 5x7 sheet film. I can't wait to see the results. Presently using Epson V600 for medium format and below.
Thanks
Chris
Hi Linus, thank you for the helpful video and I currently use sliverfast with Epson V750pro to scan my 120 (with unti-newton ring glass carrier) and 4x5 film, but the 135 scan is not ideal for flatbed scanners, so I will definitely check out the method you showed in this video!
I have been thinking about having my own YT channel about film photography but more specifically for those who does not have so many budgets like me. But the thing is really about scanning. Living in Germany means the development of films are quite easy, but most of the lab does not provide high Res scanning. If they do, it's very pricey. Currently I have to bear the crappy scan from the lab I choose. I have heard of DSLR scanning for a time but your video helped me a lot. In a way that you explained everything clearly and that's a lot of details we will have a to pay attention.
Many thanks mate
I currently use an epson v600. I tape the negative to the flatbed to scan the whole negative and the border then I use negative lab pro to convert my scans. Its definitely not the fastest way to scan and I don't have much time as it is to scan my own work so I'm very intrigued by this way of scanning. Great video.
Thanks man, really accurate and straight to the point video, gonna buy a macro lens to start already
I have never scan negative before, i once took one to the shop, after looking at your setup i think it's perfect for me, can't wait to buy one.
I'm giving all my films to the lab which charges way too much man and within 10mins you changed my life !!!!! thank you so much !!!!!
I used to scan my negatives with a Plustek 8100. It's so sharp and I get a final result that I like more than in the lab but it takes soooo much time (+- 30min/film). It's true that a camera scanning setup would change my life, and then I could finally have the film borders
Awesome setup! That film carrier is a massive help. I currently use a little DIY setup with a light table and some plastic tubes to hold the camera + lens above the film. Decent results but it still takes quite a long time to scan a whole roll of film! Keep up the good content :)
Not shooting enough film bc of how expensive labs have gotten here in Paris. Home scanning now became a top priority thanks bro 😊
Thanks for this video. I just got my first 4 rolls of film back from getting developed. They didn’t realize I wanted them scanned and printed as well. I didn’t want to wait so I’m going this route for my first time! Could definitely use the negative supply pack! Big up again
This method looks magic! I have been developing and scanning my film at home since the start of this year. Using Silverfast8 with the Epson V600 has worked okay but I do have to devote a lot of time when scanning images.
Great video! I've used a tripod in the past but I was thinking about tacking together some sort of DIY rig that I can leave together.
Excited to try film scanning with the Canon 6D and Tamron 60mm f2.
Thanks for turning me on to Negative Supply, too.
Love the vibe of your videos man. I usually drop my film off at a shop called Color Services in Santa Barbara, but the drive (1 hour there, 1 hour back) has caused me to slow down my film photography a bit. My Pentax SF-1 also broke, so I haven’t been shooting film much. But I am ordering a Rollei 35 soon to get back into shooting film.
Keep inspiring bro!
I started Camera Scanning a few weeks ago since the scanning from the lab was too expensive and now I am looking for a good set-up... so this would fit perfectly
literally picking up some custom glass and a bunch of processed negatives tomorrow to DIY myself a DSLR scan-setup. Going to use my phone, two custom cut glass pieces and my DSLR on a tripod. Pumped to see how it goes!
I scan my 35mm and 120 frames with a wood box, buildt just for that. I got one studio flash attached to the wood box to give me the right exposer and light to the film. I got my 105mm macro lens and canon 5d mark ii ready to shoot. I also use my manfrotto tripod and some iron plates to hold the film, they were made for 35mm, 120 and large format.
Oh and i edit them with NegativeLabPro and some small changes with cameraw or photoshop.
Dude, you're awesome. Keep it that way!
the only times i’ve had high quality film scans was when i sent them off to you and they came out better than i ever could have imagined!
I let my local camera shop develop and scan my film for me. Tried scanning with my XT2, but without a tripod, led panel & film carrier it's a real pain.. So this setup would really come in handy. Thanks for your videos, keep up the good work!!!
I have to mentioning that Linus was one of my favorite characters in the timeless cartoon Charlie Brown. I’ve never known another human that was named Linus. That’s just dope. Anyway, Ive been an aspiring photographer and filmmaker for a little while now. I can’t even remember why I began my search of shooting film, but it was only days ago. However what I have discovered in those valuable few days has been priceless. This video was the best. Thank you for not only your great information, but your time and energy as well. Just caught a great deal on eBay on a Lubitel 166B. I’m extremely excited to get my hands on it and shoot downtown. Thanks for the help to getting back to film. I appreciate you my good Sir. Blessings.
What a perfect time to run across your channel. Im about to begin my journey into the film shooting and developing world. I have been planning to shoot the negatives with my lumix gx85. I have never shot or developed film before so your video really helps out. Adding that gear would be extremely beneficial in my journey.
Thanks Linus for yet another great video. Your new home looks nice, your cat is definitely happy out. I'm scanning with the Epson V600. It's working out fine for 120mm but not perfect and is a nightmare for 35mm. To date I've sent most of my colour and b&w film for 120 and 35mm to labs for development and scans. I've got back into developing b&w recently though and am really enjoying it. The scanning part, not so much though. Speed aside, the Epson with 35mm b&w negs comes out muddy and to be honest I'm not happy with the results. I'm shooting 35mm film with a Nikon F100 with modern auto-focus prime lenses so sharpness should not be an issue, but alas it is with the epson scanner. I guess like you mentioned in the video that sharpness is an issue as the neg lies directly on the scanner and is soft. The raw file from a DSLR appears to contain a lot more information which I could do with when converting my scanned files in Lightroom to a positive. The Epson ain't given me much with 35mm, it's like a bad date. After the first tentative kiss, Epson gets all cold and like is not going give out anymore. I get it, I have a beard and I'm married but hey I just need some more file information, but Epson is now pissed because I never said I was married. For the record, I'm not dating outside of my marriage. It's simply a silly metaphor to highlight my point. Epson is on the skinny side with my 35mm negatives, muddy and not sharp. Not great dating material. Anyway your setup seems like the way to go. Finally, for the record once again, my wife will not be pissed about the metaphorical date but will be pissed when I sell the scanner I told her I needed. Ouch!! The purple colour Negative Pro slider is so cool that I think: 1. Prince or The Artist formerly Known as Prince will be singing Purple Rain from his grave for the next year or until we've stopped talking about Covid or whichever comes first, your guess is as good as mine. OR, 2. If I had that purple slider, I'd seriously have to consider opening up a photo lab from my home like this young hipster dude I saw on TH-cam named 'Linusandhisfriendcharliebrownenjoytakingphotosonfilmcameras' so as to use it as much as possible. It's not a very Instagram friendly name but hey he makes cool videos, give the guy a break, nobody's perfect!! Thanks again and keep up the good work, you have me happily hooked :)
I currently send all my rolls to the lab. Would love to try scan at home with this set up!! Thanks for the great info!
My brother and I have been shooting film for a year now, putting it in cold storage and making a YT playlist of scanning videos. Film scanners are non-existent on the market or marked up 2x in price when it's available. I rather save my negative and scan it myself rather than giving it to a local lab. From past experience, all I've got back is massive colour shifts, dust and minor scratches on fresh film. This giveaway would be a gift for me. I'll finally be able to see what I have been shooting for a year. Thanks Linus.
Thanks Linus for this wonderfully simple yet, comprehensive introductory video to film scanning at home. I am just starting my journey back to using the 35mm setup and your video is the best so far.... at least for me. Much appreciated Linus!!!
Thanks for this video. I have only lab scanned up to now but plan to scan with my Fujifilm X-t30 and a macro lens. Already built a cheap but sturdy copy stand. Can't wait to get started.
MAN OH MAN! I've been scanning using my DAD's Epsom Flatbed Scanner SLOWWW, but as he lives 3hrs away, and I don't visit too often (lol!), I usually save up all my films to scan in one bulk weekend. BUT you just made me realise - I have the DSLR and macros lens - so just need the other items then I'm all set to do this at home! Not sure how my dad will react now knowing that I no longer need to come and visit him! Thanks for sharing. Really excited to try this new method once I get the full set up like yours :)
love the video thank you for the tips I think my dslr scans are going to be a lot better!
Great video Linus. You have packed up a lot of useful information there. I’m currently using an Epson V800 and my scanning process is so time consuming.
Hi Linus, just found your channel and have enjoyed a number on your videos. Regarding scanning, I have a very old Epson V750 Pro and the Epson wet scan addition. I usually scan my 120 and 4x5 negs at low res and print them as a group contact sheet. After going over them I pick the ones I want to print and wet scan them. The result on the larger negs is generally good. But, talk about labor/time intensive! 35 mm is a different story. I make decisions about which negs to scan after going over them with my loupe on the light table. I only scan the few I think I will print. I have begun looking into digital scans but have not as yet taken the leap.
Keep going with the inform]ative (and fun) videos.
I’m still going broke getting lab scans, tryin to save up for an SLR scanning setup. Love the video man, thanks for all ur hard work. Stoked to see u got the negative lab signature carrier!
Just got the Digitalza+ after an excruciatingly long
'out of stock" wait. What a difference scanning the negs makes, there is so much detail that popped out, way better than the prints ever were. (prints also cropped the pics about 10-15%)
I take my film to Gold 1 HR in Korea Town for the fast turn around but watching this video really opened my eyes to a new process of scanning & would def try this approach in the the near future! Keep up the solid content man 🤙
I’ve been scanning with the Epson V600 and NLP (advice from your old video) and I absolutely love it. Thank you and keep grinding homie 🙏
