Smartphone light source for film scanning + capture for 35mm holder

• Fits directly on our 35mm film scanner: The cutout on the top securely holds the Ausgeknipst 35mm film holder – turning the light source and holder into a complete, stable scanning station.
• Your smartphone becomes the scanning light source: The affordable alternative to expensive light sources like the CSLite – just insert your phone, turn on a white screen, and digitize your negatives with even backlighting.
• Fits almost any smartphone up to 7 inches: The internal dimensions of 17 × 8.5 cm accommodate practically any current phone – from iPhone to Samsung Galaxy to Google Pixel.
• Consistently bright for free: With the free "White Screen" app from the Play Store, your display becomes a clean, dimmable light surface – no extra accessories needed.
• Matte black and low-reflection finish: Made from technical plastic (PLA+), a plant-based bioplastic. The matte surface prevents stray light when photographing. Made in Würzburg, Germany.

Description

This adapter turns your smartphone into an even backlight source for digitizing film – the affordable alternative to special scanning lights like the CSLite. You place your phone in the frame, activate a white screen via the free "White Screen" app, and insert our 35mm film holder into the precisely fitting cutout on top. Then, using a second camera or phone, you photograph the film with clean, even lighting.

The matte black surface prevents reflections in the image, and the internal size of 17 × 8.5 cm fits almost any smartphone up to 7 inches. If you want to get started right away, choose the Basic Set: light source and 35mm film holder together.
