Product Background
The Film Carrier MK1 did a lot for more professional 35mm film scanning through DSLR. Building off the design ethos and and concept of the MK1, the Pro Film Carrier 35 represents film scanning reimagined, now with included support for half frame and panoramic 35mm formats all in one device. This is included as a standard feature pin every unit we produce.
Also new are adjustable tensioners in the scanning guides so that film doesn’t “drift” when advancing through the carrier. This makes auto adjustments in post processing much faster and provide pro-level constancy frame to frame, something commercial labs and institutions will rejoice in.
