Thanks, Jefferey! I appreciate that.

I got the easy35 on the pre-sale. It's now fitted to a Fujifilm X-E4 with an old Micro Nikkor 55/2.8 plus extension ring. I camscan before cutting (process my own C41). I don't use Lightroom but Grain2Pixel works like a charm, is free and does batches. Allows quite a lot of post conversion actions and even creates a virtual contact print. TIP: Leave a blank frame at the start and use it for white balance.

Very timely! We sadly lost dad on boxing day and there's a stack of photos from his OM1 35mm days to sort through, archive and display.

Very useful video you shared here, pal! I have been seeking a not complicated way to scan my 135 mm and also my 120 mm film for quite a long now. I have had photography since 1978, you you can imagine how the mass of film stips I have in my archives. Thank you so much!!!!! 😃

I use the Nikon ES-2 Film Digitiser system for digitizing my 35mm negs. It does not have its own light source but it's very easy to use. You don't need to parallel the film plain to the sensor plain as you say and you don't even need to keep the whole steady while taking the image. It doesn't do medium format.

I just hope these guys make a Valoi Easy120 someday. I have the Easy35 and I think this gadget is pure genius.

I saw this online the other day and was considering it but was holding out to find a good review on it and, well, here we are! Thank you!

Man I love your lighting setup. So super crisp and clean.

Yes!! After Plustek (slow af) and Epson (no sharpness) and also plenty other holders (which needed constant leveling) this solution made my year 2023 and made me scan all of my 135 stuff in just a matter of hours. Can’t recommend it enough!

I hope this info helps somebody. Regards

Hello! I'm very happy to have found this video! I've been wanting to get back into shooting with film cameras for a while, but I live in a small town, and we don't have the option to scan film on demand. I still need to find an affordable way to develop negatives. Do you have any videos on the developing process as well? Regarding the scanning process, do you recommend using an old camera and vintage lenses because they are cheaper? If I have a modern camera like the Sony A7M3 and a macro lens like the Sigma 105mm, would I be able to scan film on my own? Thanks a lot for your hard work! 🥰

I have one of these. For me it’s not working - I get a ton of haloing - I think that’s the word - reverse vignetting. No matter what brightness I set it to. Maybe it’s the macro lens I have - a micro Nikkor 60mm. I get the same problem with my Nikon D3x and the Z7ii.

That's ridiculous Pricey!! You DON'T Need to buy everything folks. Just build one yourself. Lately I build DIY box scan for 35mm and 120mm films.

Hi Kyle, I’ve just ordered it and now looking forward to starting scanning my negatives. I’ve been getting different results from different labs so I’d like to see if I can scan myself and get good results. I still need to learn how to develop film… I have a question regarding pushing/pulling films; e.g. if I pull a film from iso 400 to 200, should I ask the lab to develop it at iso 200? Is this the general rule? I’m fairly new to the 35mm film photography and trying to learn best practices. Thank you, Maciej.

I scanned most of my negatives -- both 35 mm and 6x6 cm - around 10 years ago using the 4990. It took forever and the results weren't all that great, especially the 6x6 negs which are not perfectly flat in the film holder. My D300 is low res by today's standards but with good glass and proper extensions, I might give this a shot. Also, I borrowed a Coolscan (4000, I think) for slides and it was a disaster with constant jams using the slide feeder. Speaking of slides, any suggestions?

Amazing what people are creating in their spare bedroom with 3d printers well done

Informative and interesting video Kyle. Like you I have the Valoi Advancer kit but do not have the space to leave my stand permanently erected so it can take longer setting up than scanning one roll of film! I've ordered an Easy 35, thanks for the discount code. I also support the suggestion that you don't need expensive cameras to scan film. I sold my Nikon mirrorless cameras last year when I went all in rangefinder and realised I didn't have a camera to scan with so I bought a beaten up Nikon D800 (36mpx) from MPB for 250 quid as I did keep the two F mount macro lenses. The results are just as good as with the Z7ii! Fortunately both the 60mm and 105 work with the Easy. I'll let you all know how it goes...once I blown the dust off my 35mm! Keep up the good work.

It's okaaaay. However, if your negative isn't sufficiently dense (anything other than a bright, daytime shot) you're likely going to see orange vignetting in the corners of your scans, and that's because the Valoi Easy35 has defective/uneven backlighting on it's panels. They tried to fix this issue and send out new models, but unfortunately the issue persists. (I've been through 2 units myself). You can take off the panel and then put something like a Viltrox in it's place which seems to remedy the issue... but it's an expensive modification as the Valoi Easy35 isn't actually cheap and obviously betrays the entire idea of the product. Despite all this, Valoi continues to market the product even tho they are well aware of the issue. Very disappointing.

So I guess that it will work with my Tamron having 23cm minimal focus distance? Anyone who can help me with this?
