-
The only dedicated Minox scanning solution: 9.2mm film channel, precisely designed for 8×11mm subminiature film, with no adapter and no workaround.
-
Film strip held flat: the Dual-S curve keeps the strip flat across its entire width, without glass plates or Newton rings, sharp right into the corners.
-
Magnetic Top Plate, one-handed operation: lift it off, insert the film, and snap it into place. Short film strips and individual frames also fit without threading.
-
Modularly expandable to block stray light: The layered system grows with you: the Adapter Plate at the bottom and Lens Hood at the top (Pro/Full Set) completely seal out light entering from the sides and preserve contrast.

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, tripod head on top, camera on top of that. Use the joint to align the camera exactly parallel to the negative, which is why there is no fixed camera holder on the profile.
Virtually any ball head or geared head will fit, 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. If you don't have your own head, a simple mini ball head with a 3/8" connection is sufficient.

Description
Minox film in the 8x11 format is poorly served by 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, designed from the ground up for Minox shooters: modular, uncompromising in quality and handling, even with the smallest format. The Base Plate guides the 9.2 mm-wide film through a channel with a dual-S curve that keeps the strip flat without glass plates. Remove the magnetic Top Plate in one easy movement: insert the film, snap it into place and scan. The integrated rubber feet (2 mm, Shore 70A) provide a non-slip stand on any light source.
Expand the system to fit your workflow: from the basic entry-level option through the Pro Set with CineStill CS-LITE light source, Adapter Plate and lens hood to the complete scanning station with Copy Stand MK2. Made in Würzburg, Germany.
