  • Keeps the film strip flat across its entire width: The dual-S curve tensions the film evenly, without glass plates and without Newton rings. Sharpness all the way to the corners.
  • Feed the film through from the side: Insert the entire roll from the side, advance it frame by frame, and pull it out on the other side. The Top Plate stays in place. You only need to lift it off for short strips and when changing formats.
  • Blocks light entering from the sides: The 5-layer system with Adapter Plate (bottom) and lens hood (top, included in the Pro and Full Sets) prevents stray light and loss of contrast.
  • Protects your negatives from scratches: The milled film channel touches the film only at the edges, 1–2mm on each side. Rubber feet (2mm, Shore 70A) prevent slipping and protect the light source.
  • One system, multiple formats: Standard 24×36mm in the Basic Set, expandable via magnetic Top Plate to Half Frame (18×24mm), Panorama X-Pan (24×65mm), and more.

Compatibility

Film:

  • All 35mm negatives (color and black-and-white), film strips, and individual frames
  • Compatible with film from all 35mm cameras, for example Canon AE-1, Pentax K1000, or Nikon F3

Light sources (universally compatible):

  • CineStill CS-LITE / CS-LITE+ (SpectraColor), included in the Pro/Full Set
  • Negative Supply Light Source (Basic/MK1/MK2/Pro)
  • Kaiser Slimlite Plano
  • Raleno LED panel (e.g., PLV-S116)
  • Jack Scanlight
  • Any illuminated surface ≥ 73.2 × 120mm (= base area of the 35mm Base Plate; smaller surfaces are also possible to a limited extent, in which case the plate extends beyond the light)

Accessories (Ausgeknipst ecosystem):

  • Copy Stand MK2 (1602b), included in the Full Set
  • Expandable with: Half Frame Top (1656b), Panorama X-Pan Top (1657b)
  • Lens hood 35 (1662p) with spacers, included in the Pro/Full Set

This film holder uses a narrow 35mm channel to guide the film, covering the perforation holes (sprocket holes). If you want the Lomography look with visible perforations, you need our Sprocket film holder with a wider channel and adapted exposure window.

You need a tripod head for the Copy Stand

Applies to the Full Set; the Basic and Pro Sets do not include a Copy Stand. The Copy Stand has a 3/8" screw on top; a tripod head is not included. The setup is: Copy Stand, with the tripod head on top, and the camera on top of that. Use the joint to align the camera precisely parallel to the negative, which is why there is no fixed camera holder on the profile.

Virtually any ball or geared head will fit, as 3/8" is the standard on the underside of the head. If you have a tripod, simply unscrew the head and use it here. Without your own head, a simple mini ball head with a 3/8" connection is sufficient.

Description

With this 35mm film holder, you can scan your 35mm negatives yourself using a DSLR or mirrorless camera—a modular five-layer system that grows with your workflow. The Base Plate guides the film through a milled channel with a dual-S curve that keeps the strip flat without glass plates. The film only touches the edges, by 1–2 mm on each side. In normal operation, you slide the strip into the channel from the side, pull it through frame by frame, and out the other side. The magnetic Top Plate stays in place. You only need to lift it for short snippets that cannot be pushed through, and when changing formats: the Top Plate is the mask. The integrated rubber feet (2 mm, Shore 70A) provide a secure grip on any light source without slipping or scratching.

The system grows with your workflow: from the basic entry-level setup with a Top Plate, through the Pro Set with a CineStill CS-LITE light source, Adapter Plate, and lens hood, to the complete scanning station with Copy Stand MK2. Then everything except the camera, lens, and tripod head is included. Additional Top Plates for Half Frame and Panorama X-Pan are available separately. No matter which film formats your analogue journey takes you to next, the system remains expandable.

Which set is right for you?

If you're unsure which set you need, the Film Scanner Finder can help: answer three questions and you'll get a recommendation. You can find the complete layer structure with all components and direct shop links in the range diagram. Guides and technical background on film scanning are available in the blog overview.

In the test

Robert Sakowski ran our set against his previous film holder over several rolls and switched, thanks to its fit on the light source, magnetic mask format changes, and film flatness. Watch his video (11 minutes, in German).
