Vello NSD-35 Overview

The NSD-35 35mm Negative and Slide Digitizer from Vello makes it easy to digitize 35mm negative film strips and mounted slides with a digital camera and macro lens. This kit features an LED light source and extension tubes which allow consistent and bright illumination as well as accurate focus distance. Pull out your old 35mm film negatives or prepared slides from the closet and drop them into the film holder to capture one-to-one digital copies.

Quick Film Digitization Aid
Convert old 35mm film strips and slides to digital copies using your existing digital camera and macro lens. The Vello NDS-35 works with most Nikon, Canon, and Sony cameras along with select macro lenses. Instead of buying a whole scanner, just use your full-frame camera and capture a 1:1 digital reproduction that lasts forever.
LED Light
A bright and dimmable LED light source provides the illumination the camera needs to capture all the details of the 35mm film being photographed. The light also acts as a stand-alone negative viewer with a kickstand so it can be set up on a flat surface, making it easy to scrutinize each slide. The cool-running LED light operates with any 5W USB power supply, available separately. A diffusion panel is also included if using an alternate light source is desired.
USB-A to Micro-B Power Control Cable
The power control cable offers tactile buttons that make it easy to adjust the light's brightness, so you don't have to take your eye off the camera while changing settings.
Film Strip and Mounted-Slide Carriers
A film strip carrier secures 35mm film strips up to six frames long, and a slide carrier holds two mounted slides at a time, making it easy to move from one slide to the next without damaging the film. Quickly shoot and move to the next picture in one session.
Macro Lens Adapters
Six lens adapters make it easy to mount the digitizer onto a macro lens. Choose between 46, 49, 52, 55, 58, 62, and 67mm lens adapters to match a variety of lenses for macro shooting.
Focus Extensions
Getting film negatives in focus is the priority when shooting a digital copy. Use a combination of the included extensions to lengthen or shorten the focus distance, so every image is sharp.
LED Light Connectors
A pair of connectors allow the LED light panel to easily attach to the film strip holder, holding it at the perfect distance for even illumination. The modular set can then be disassembled for compact storage.

Vello NSD-35 Reviews

Fun and decent

The instruction manual was tiny, so I found the online version and was off to the races. I used this rig with a Canon R6 with the 100mm Macro. Compared to traditional slide scanners, I was able to pull a ton of details from the deep Kodachrome shadows, and used HDR blending to capture the full dynamic range using Lightroom Classic. Very happy with the results.

The Vello NSD-35 makes scanning 35mm negative and Slides faster, sharper, and more accurate. The Vello NSD-35 enables you to use major brand digital cameras. My first test where made with a Sonya7C a 24mp camera with the Sony90mm Macro lens. The auto focusing of the camera combined with the sharpness of the 90mm macro used with the Vello NSD-35 delivers both speed and accuracy when making dupes.

The Vello NSD-35 35mm Negative and Slide Digitizer comes with a 62mm filter adapter that fits the Sony FE 90mm f/2.8 Macro G OSS Lens. Technically it should work but it has not been tested with that lens and Sony cameras.

Do the tubes have enough length to allow use of a DX (crop sensor) camera Nikon D500 with 105 macro lens at 1:1?
Asked by: Randy
The Vello NSD-35 35mm Negative and Slide Digitizer will focus using a Nikon D500 and a full-frame 105mm macro lens. It will crop the image, and that might not work for some.

Will this work with an old F mount manual focus Micro-NIKKOR 55mm f/2.8 lens?
Asked by: Judith
The Vello NSD-35 35mm Negative and Slide Digitizer includes a 52mm lens adapter so it will screw onto the Nikon Micro-NIKKOR 55mm f/2.8 Lens. There are several extension tubes in the box that you can use to get the film to be at minimum focusing distance so it should work with that lens, but we have not tested with that lens before therefore cannot guarantee that it will work.
