-
Only dedicated Minox scanning solution: 9,2mm film channel, designed exactly for 8×11mm subminiature film, no adapter, no workaround.
-
Film strip held flat: the dual-S curve keeps the strip flat across its full width, no glass plates, no Newton rings, sharp into the corners.
-
Magnetic Top Plate, one motion: lift off, insert film, click into place. Even short film snippets and single frames fit without threading.
-
Modular expansion against stray light: The layer system grows with you: Adapter Plate at the bottom and lens hood at the top (Pro/Full Set) completely seal off side light and preserve contrast.

You need a tripod head for the Copy Stand
Applies to the Full Set, the Basic and Pro Set don't 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, tripod head on top, camera on top of that. You use the joint to align the camera exactly parallel to the negative, which is why there's no fixed camera mount on the profile.
Practically any ball head or geared head fits, since 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 a head of your own, our leveling base fits directly onto the 3/8" screw.

Description
Minox film in the 8x11 format gets short shrift in most scanning systems, and a film holder that really fits is hard to find. This system is the only dedicated scanning solution for Minox subminiature film, built from the ground up for Minox shooters: modular, with no compromises on quality and handling, even at this tiny format. The Base Plate guides the 9.2mm wide film through a channel with a dual S curve that keeps the strip flat without glass plates. You remove the magnetic Top Plate with a single motion: load the film, snap it in, scan. The integrated rubber feet (2mm, Shore 70A) provide a non-slip stand on any light source.
The system grows with your workflow: from the Basic entry level, through the Pro Set with CineStill CS-LITE light source, Adapter Plate and lens hood, up to the complete scanning station with Copy Stand MK2. Made in Würzburg, Germany.
