Seriously, I have no idea why I didn't consider it sooner. Guess I was under impression that the set up is too big and not the most convenient. Also the alternative options for scanning kits were not as affordable as this one.
Great video! I've used the Plustek 8100 for 35mm film but am now in the middle of trying the pixl latr for 120! So far so good but I did end up getting a macro lens (but it also fits my nikon so can use it for that as well) :)
i use also the lomo digitalizer :-) and neg Lab pro, i have mounted a sony a6000 on an old reproduction stand, the cam stays always on the stand except i shoot 120 film, then i use a sony a7riii because of the mpx... greets BM
Yes, it keeps 35mm flat. No Newton rings unlike with a scanner in my case. It keeps 120 flat as well, just a bit challenging to load if the film has more curve.
I just started using the Digitaliza. The scans are fine, but, like you said in the video, scanning 120 is not a smooth process. It seems like the design of that adaptor was not through well enough. The door is difficult to open so the whole thing moves and I have to re-align the negative under my lens, each time I advance to a new frame of film. I’ve looked at alternatives to the Digitaliza, but I’m not willing to pay US $300-$500. The Digitaliza was US $100, so I guess I shouldn’t expect more for that price.
QQQ: If you have access to wider medium format negatives, how well does this work with 6x9 or wider, i.e., is the scan and stitch process easy? Thank you.
@@AnalogueDiaries Thanks for responding. The instructions says in order to scan negs > 6x7, one needs to scan and stitch. That brings up the Q on what amount of overlap, the color/WB workflow, and using which Lr or Ps stitch settings.
Very helpful video. Thank you!
I agree that the 35mm concept in 120 would be super cool! Awesome shots, and I'm glad you're enjoying the world of camera scanning!

Going to be picking up one of these scanning kits soon. For what you pay for one, they're great value!!
I agree! Have fun with yours :)

Thanks for watching! Did you post photos of your 120 scans already? Would love to see!
@@AnalogueDiaries I'm doing a video on them, go figure haha can send you some on insta!

How is the flatness for 35mm? Is the film held perfectly flat? Thank you for the video, it's been hard to find working reviews but this was good!

Does anybody know the CRI score of the light panel?

Thanks for the question. The biggest MF I’ve scanned with this is 6x7 and it covers backlight panel completely. So I don’t think it’ll work for 6x9

Unfortunately I’m no help with this as I don’t shoot bigger than 6x7 🤷🏼♀️
