Oct 2 Introducing the Digitizing Kit for 35mm and 120 Film

As any film photographer knows, the process of digitizing film can be arduous or costly, oftentimes both. Whether you're using a flatbed or dedicated film scanner with proprietary software or a bulky copy-stand setup, there hasn’t been an easy way to scan your 35mm and 120 format film at home.

That is, until ProMaster developed the Digitizing Kit for 35mm and 120 film, a kit that includes everything you need in a convenient, compact, and affordable package. Priced right at $149.95, this is an accessible way for you to scan your film using your camera and a macro lens. This is a tool that is easy to use and produces beautiful, high-resolution 35mm and medium format film scans that exceed the output quality of most film scanners.

Let’s break it down. The Digitizing Kit is a complete solution that includes a precision sliding rail system, a high-quality LED backlight, and film holders. Just add your digital camera (DSLR or mirrorless interchangeable lens camera), macro lens, and a tripod, and you’re good to go. Since you’re using your modern camera’s sensor and the software of your choice, the entire process is faster and easier, with better dynamic range and full creative control.

The sliding rail system moves the film holder and LED backlight to the perfect distance from your lens quickly and precisely. The main rail is made from precision-machined aluminum and etched scale markings let you repeat setups in seconds. The LED backlight delivers excellent light with a CRI rating of 97 and a TLCI rating of 98, ensuring your scans are accurate and consistent.

Here’s how the Digitizing kit works for both 35mm and medium format film. Two film holders are included in the kit: one for 35mm and one for 120. These film holders are easy to load, keep film flat with transparent backs, and use magnets to securely hold your film in place.

Instead of waiting minutes for a scan, your camera captures each frame with a single click. Slide, shoot, repeat, and your film is scanned in no time for editing using the software of your choice!
