Negative Supply Simple Film Scanning System

This kit provides the essential hardware—the film carriers and the light source—to hold your negatives flat and illuminate them properly. You will still need a digital camera, a macro lens, and a tripod or copy stand to actually capture the images.

The system utilizes Negative Supply's double s-curve technology, which gently guides the film through the carrier to ensure it stays perfectly flat. This is crucial for maintaining sharpness across the entire frame, especially when using high-resolution digital sensors.

Yes, the included Basic Film Carriers are designed to handle both. You can easily feed full rolls through the carrier or insert individual cut strips for scanning.

The included 4x5 Light Source Basic MK2 features a CRI of 97, which is high enough to provide consistent, accurate color rendering. This ensures that your digital files will have a neutral starting point for your post-processing workflow.

This system is highly versatile, covering 35mm film—including half-frame, full-frame, and panoramic formats—as well as 120 film in 645, 6x6, 6x7, and 6x9 aspect ratios.

This system is significantly faster and typically offers higher resolution because it leverages the capabilities of your existing digital camera and macro lens. It is designed for photographers who want to digitize large archives efficiently without sacrificing image quality.
