The 2024 version of the Premium Kit for 35mm Film Scanning from Negative Supply combines essential, high-quality pieces of equipment from their selection to allow you to scan 35mm film at home or in studio with the use of DSLR or mirrorless cameras.
The Pro Film Carrier 35 MK2 from Negative Supply utilizes the same basic design as the Pro Film Carrier 35 but adds an important feature that power users, labs, and lovers of alternative formats will want: an interchangeable roller module. The interchangeable roller modules will come separately from the cassettes so users of the Pro Film Carrier 35, Basic Film Carrier 35 MK2, and Pro Film Carrier 35 MK2 customers don't need to purchase accessories they don't need.
With a maximum riser height of 26", the Basic Riser XL from Negative Supply is capable of scanning 4 x 5" film with up to 90mm full-frame-equivalent focal lengths, 120 film with over 100mm full-frame-equivalent focal lengths, and 35mm film with nearly any popular macro lens. It's designed to support professional DSLR systems, such as the Canon 1DX and Nikon D5, large mirrorless cameras such as the Leica SL, Canon EOS R3 and Nikon Z9, and anything smaller. It will even support most digital medium-format systems. The head is similar to what you'll find on the Pro Riser MK3 with a secure-mounting system that uses a T-handle to securely mount your camera. There is a window on the side of the head that gives easy access to the 1/4"-20 mounting point and a locking knob on the back of the head to keep it at the height you set. The central column is anodized and quickly attaches to the black powder-coated, solid steel base with stainless steel hardware.
The Light Source Mini from Negative Supply makes scanning film with a digital camera easy and straight forward. It features a high CRI of 97 for color accuracy, and the unit's 3.75 x 2.5" light area lets you work with 35mm and medium format film sizes.
Use this Pro Film Carrier 35 MK2 Adapter from Negative Supply to seamlessly mount your Pro Film Carrier 35 and block all additional light coming in. This is also part of the two stage adapter plate for the Pro Mount MK2, which is the only part needed if you are already using the Pro Film Carrier 35.
The 35mm Scanning Hood from Negative Supply makes it easier to scan your film in well-lit areas. Compatible with the Pro Film Carrier 35 and Basic Film Carrier 35 MK2, this hood will increase the quality and conistency of your results when making scans of your film by reducing glare or potential light bleeding while also increasing contrast in the scan itself.
This 35mm Full Border Scanning Cassette from Negative Supply allows you to photograph and scan the perforations and identifying information on the sides of your film in addition to the image itself. Compatible with the Pro Film Carrier 35 and Basic Film Carrier 35 MK2, the cassette allows you to control drift in your scans by letting you set your own custom width spacing.
Easily and quickly camera-scan mounted slides with the Basic Mounted Slide Holder Scanning Kit from Negative Supply, which pairs the Mounted Slide Holder MK2 with the Mounted Slide Holder Stabilizing Mask and is compatible with the 4x5 Light Source Basic. The Slide Holder MK2 secures magnetically to the Stabilization Mask, and has adjustable thumb screws to accommodate 35mm slides of various sizes plus a rail-guided slotting mechanism that uses one slide to push the other one out.
The In-Line Power Switch for 4 x 5 Light Source Basic and Light Source Mini from Negative Supply allows you to switch the 4 x 5 Light Source Basic film scanning light source and the Light Source Mini scanning light source on and off.
