The supplied adapters allow you to attach the set to different lenses and the angle of view and tilt can be adjusted by using the view angle adjustment ring on the barrel. Dedicated film holders for both film strips and mounted slides² are included, as well, to help hold the film taut and to benefit handling. Beside that, the set is particularly well-suited for the Nikon D850 camera due to its dedicated Negative Digitizer mode and ability to automatically reverse colors in-camera to expedite the digitizing process. Additionally, you can use the set together with the included LED Light³ to get high quality light source and improve image sharpness.

 

The supplied LED light features 42 built-in ultra-bright LEDs and those LEDs are covered with a screen to produce a soft and even light. The color difference can be effectively reduced for the LED's 95+ color rendering index and 6500K color temperature. Besides that, the connection cable of the LED is about 1.5m / 4.9' and it requires a 5V-2A USB power adapter (not included) for power supply. The controller on the cable allows you to turn on or turn off the LED and enables you to adjust the brightness of this light (the brightness has 10 levels available). You can insert the slide mount holder or strip film holder into the holder insertion slot on the LED to provide high quality light source when carrying on a negative copying. Additionally, the support on its back is designed for using on a flat surface; the 1/4"-20 female thread on the bottom is designed for mounting on a tripod or stand.

Q&A

Q1: What is the difference between a film scanner and this film digitizing adapter?

- A1: Film scanner is quick and easier to use, however, it only creates JPEG output and the scan quality is not high. This JJC film digitizer adapter needs you to use along with DSLR/Mirrorless + select macro lenses, it provides RAW output which means you will get ultra-high resolution files from your 35mm film. Beside this, both the DSLR and Mirrorless cameras have larger sensor and this produces every pixel detail. 

- Q2: What is the difference between this JJC film digitizing adapter and the Nikon ES-2 film digitizing adapter?

- A2: Actually this JJC one replaces the Nikon ES-2, however, JJC provides more adapters so that it can also be applied to other brand cameras and lenses.

- Q3: What cameras and lens does this film digitizing adapter work with?

- A3: We suggest use the select cameras and macro lenses listed in the product description for the best performance. Other brand lenses may or may not work due to focus distance and lens thread size.

- Q4: Is it compatible with all size slide film?

- A4: Actually it is compatible with most slide mounts with thickness below 2mm.

- Q5: How do I convert my negative images into positive images?

- A5: There are plenty of different methods for inverting negatives in Lightroom or Photoshop (or in many other image editing packages).Our recommendation is to use a Lightroom plugin called "Negative Lab Pro" .
