- Turns your smartphone into a scanning light source: The adapter holds your phone – the white display serves as an even backlight for digitizing your negatives. The affordable alternative to expensive scan lights like the CSLite.
- Fits directly on our 35mm film scanner: The cutout on the top securely holds the Ausgeknipst 35mm film holder – adapter, phone, and holder form a complete, stable scanning station.
- 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, the 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 scan lights like the CSLite. You place your phone in the adapter, 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 cleanly and evenly lit.
The matte black surface prevents reflections in the image, and the internal dimensions of 17 × 8.5 cm fit almost any smartphone up to 7 inches. If you want to start right away, choose the Basic Set: adapter and 35mm film holder together.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between the versions? "Adapter only" is just the smartphone adapter. The "Basic Set" also includes our 35mm film holder, which fits into the cutout on top – the complete scanning station.
- Do I need a specific app? The free "White Screen" app from the Play Store works perfectly (even, dimmable). Any white full screen on the display works just as well.
- Will my phone fit? Any phone up to 7 inches fits within the internal dimensions of 17 × 8.5 cm.
