Introducing the Cumulus Portable Film Scanning System for Medium format.
This film scanning jig allows you to easily digitalize your developed 120 film, with nothing other than a camera and a lens.
The Cumulus system:
- Requires no light source. Yes. Use the sky and use the clouds. Point to the sky and start scanning!
- Requires no tripod or copy stand. This jig is self-supporting and self-aligning!
Detachable film holder allows you to insert and center your first frame easily before you begin to scan.
Spacer tubes allows you to place your film at the optimal distance for your macro lens.
An innovated alignment ring secures the spacers to thread tightly to your camera while still allowing the face plate to rotate and align with your frame.
Frame masks in popular medium formats including 6x6 (most TLRs, Hasselblad, and folding cameras), 6x7 (Mamiya RB67, RZ67, and Pentax 67), and 6x9 (View cameras, Graflex, Mamiya Press camera) frames your negatives perfectly for scanning.
See for yourself scans I made hand-held!

Technical Details:
Spacer
tubes are connected with 52mm filter threads. If your macro lens has a
different filter thread, you will need a step-up/step-down ring.
Spacer tubes come in 10mm, 20mm, and 40mm sizes. A set of 10/20/40 allows any combination between 0 to 70mm in 10mm increments.
While
this system is designed to be used without a copy stand and light
table, you can of course use it indoors with a light table or a stand.
The film holder is designed to have sufficient clearance for lying on a light source.
The film holder may be used independently.
