2:09 hello little guy on the left
Y E S!
It is funny that even after all the evolution in digital photography over the past 20 years or so, film still does it's thing perfectly well.
Well it's like an umbrella..timelessly useful
actually old films looks shitty
film is getting better because digital sensor and personal comupter getting better and more available
@@aLittlePal Are you serious?Have you ever seen in your life a negative or positive film or a print photograf from film?
Man, file this under "things I didn't know I desperately needed"
2:09 Oh, hi
I'd like to see Jordan shoot an episode DPReview on 16mm.
Yes please!
and then each frame with this camera .
And then the 'behind the scenes' bonus video with all the developing and scanning process + comparison between the digital and analog ways (covering the time and funds spent) oh yea
This is so cool! Every camera manufacturer should make one of these!
Looks very simple and cheap to manufacture. I'm sure that soon Chinese clones will start appearing on eBay and other online marketplaces for a fraction of the price.
@@ErebosGR they won't. This thing isn't new at all and still no cheap alternatives
There's a Manufacturer called Camflix that makes them for 35 mm film and other formats as well . www.amazon.com/Camflix-Digitizing-Adapter-135-Negatives/dp/B081235N9V

@@CristianoUyeno That's considerably more expensive than the Nikon.
You can probably 3d print something like this. Wouldnt be surprised if somebody on thingiverse already made something like this.
There are some really good shots in there.
0:09 is like some dude in a nu metal band with a stage name, like, DJ Chrispy Chris lol.
I just finished digitizing 1,460 Kodachrome slides my father-in-law took in Europe during their seven years there. The system was very easy to use and while it is very time consuming, and I did edit nearly every one of them because the Kodachrome has started taking on a bluish cast due to its age--1960's. Thanks for the vid, it assisted me in getting started. Now I am beginning to tackle old negatives starting in 1981.
Thought it was Ektachrome that ages that way.
@@jdw715 Sadly it is Kodachome too
Chris, I love the photo of the leaf on the street. Epic.
When using these film adapters you should also turn off IBIS and lens optical stabilisation.
The Nikon es-2 film digitizing adapter set works fine on a Sony a7 series camera with a full frame e-mount lens around 40-60mm. The adapter screws to a 52mm or 62mm filter thread.
If your full frame e-mount lens doesn't have a 52mm or 62mm filter thread you need a cheap step-up or step-down ring to 52mm or 62mm. Also if your e-mount lens can't focus very close you need a cheap extension tube which will permit the lens to focus closer.
The step-up or step-up down ring and the extension tube can be found very easily on eBay with a total cost around 20-40€.
incredible, im getting a d750 soon and it will go perfectly with my N80.
Keen on checking this out. Also, got to say, the music from 6:00 on was amazing.
Young Chris looks like asian Linus from linustechtips xD
songochang With a beard
The ear ring u think
Don’t dis the HP5! - that was my go-to film stock when I was at college - over 30 years ago... I also remember hand processing XP1 film back then, though I was glad when XP2 came out, and you could just hand it to a lab. Ahhh, analog!
Good tip about the fact that you don't need to worry about camera movement - it all moves together.
Film was golden era :) such an amazing color tones so vintage and nostalgia
Still is, if you want it to be 😃
Been using this with the Sony A7RIII and the FE 90mm macro for a while and it's quite good
I own the ES-1, which is still available for half the price and is very usable for mounted slides. As he states, shoot NEF for maximum flexibility. This newer system, the ES-2 is much more convenient with the built-in mode to reverse negative film. A much-improved workflow!
Oh man, I absolutely need this!
You lived in UK and doesn't change your accent.
I like that.
I miss the Agfa too. Great old shots!
great pics chris !!!
I use my Z6 with an adapter plus a 60mm F glass, for this and it works very well.
I’ve used this for about a year and loved it. Had to upgrade to a flatbed scanner cause I shoot mostly medium format now. Recently sold my Nikon so If anyone is interested I’m selling my adapter at a used priced.
Good choice of music in the background, feels 80s ;)
I've shot a few thousand negatives with an ES-2 over the past few months. I did have a D610, and was using Control My Nikon to control it to shoot the film With CMN, you can switch Live View to a show a negative of the image and get an idea of what it looks like, even when the camera is shooting in RAW. Having now bought a D850, I find that I get better color out of the negative-conversion algorithm in the camera. (Probably a better reflection of my lack of post skills than anything else.) Use a Lume Cube 2.0 with diffuser as a light source. Pretty slick so far.
This is incredible. I can’t believe Nikon builds the negative reversal into the camera. Omg I wish Fuji would do this so I could scan with my 80mm macro.
It's limited though and only give you a jpeg, which may not be a problem for everyone. Always better off shooting in raw and using separate software to get the photo inverted and colour corrected.
Works just fine with a Pentax K-1ii and Pentax FA 50mm Macro 2.8 out of the box. Uses 52mm filter threads, BTW. On some cameras with some lenses macro tubes might be necessary. Total fun.
Who's the cute little doggo at 2:09? Would he be amenable to appearing in a few videos?
Really cool images man
loved the soundtrack
I've done this with a tabletop tripod, macro lens, and a lightbox... back in the day.
Technically, the ES-2 will not work with the 105mm lens to make a 1:1 copy unless you can extend the distance from the front of the lens to the ES-2 by a considerable amount (314mm from the sensor). I have read that one workaround is to use 17 UV filters (with the glass removed) attached to the front of the lens.
thanks for doing the math on this, I have a macro rail (with measured increments) you think this may work? Just extend the film holder out 314 from the sensor and have the camera on a tripod at the same level?
I have a 90mm 2:1 macro lens. How does that impact the distance from the slide to the front of the lens?
@@robgerety Probably the easiest way to figure that out is to mount your camera on a tripod and compose an image using the slide or negative as your subject mounted to something steady. Once you have achieved good focus and an image that fills the sensor with the negative, simply measure the distance between the film and the sensor plane, which will be indicated on the top of the body of the camera by a an image of a circle with a line through it. My guess is that you will be looking at somewhere around 270 mm for the focal length of your lens (but this is just an educated guess). Buying 17 UV filters and removing the glass is a non-starter. I don't think the ES-2 system will be practical for me unless I buy a shorter focal length (~55mm) macro lens, so I will probably use a copy stand with a regular enlarger-type of negative carrier with a small light table to backlight the film. Using this method, I will have a copy stand that will allow me to copy regular artwork as well. There are plenty of youtube videos that will demonstrate this. I hope this helps.
@@robgerety I replied to this, but in the higher thread.
@@s.vancourt9541 Thanks. I think you're right. I can figure out the distance from end of lens to slide that works with my lens to fill the frame and focus. The problem is that there does not seem to be a slide holder on the market that has adjustable tube length and that gives the min/max length specs. I'm not sure how big a market this is, but if someone put an adjustable length duplicator on the market I think it would sell.
Great to see this. Question: since the mount is a threaded step-ring, could one potentially use this with Canon DSLR?
Outstanding job on this Chris, I shoot and scan lots of film and just did a tutorial on my channel of ilford sfx infrared film. This adapter is so much simpler than the Epson scanner I use. I'm going to check this out I'm curious if it will work on micro 4/3.
They need to bring this feature into their Z cameras asap!!
Hi, I have checked with a retail store and read the instruction booklet. This kit does not work with the 105mm macro (as you mentioned). It is beyond the focusing distance allowed by the scanner.
Could you guys ever do an analog review series?
I'm confused... Isn't that the guy from Camera Conspiracies in the black n white opening picture?
That's the real conspiracy...
"HP5... Meeeh..."
*_EXCUSE ME??_*
I will say it's incredibly sharp film and very forgiving. Just never sang for me. Now Fuji Neopan 400! The best!
@@niccollsvideo weelllll if you are shooting at boxspeed I could understand this comment, but at 1600 *chef's kiss*
Yeah, I shot a lot of Ilford HP5 because in school we were shown how good it looked pushed to ISO 800. That was handy for low light, and also for a student, HP5 cost less than Kodak...
@@brightboxstudio and then there's my photo teacher who has expressly forbidden me from pushing any film.. Too bad I started developing my own before this class, lmao
@@niccollsvideo That's funny cause you sold me my first rolls of HP5 many years ago! (As well as Neopan 100 Acros)
Exelent tool 👍🙏 exelent photography 😁😁
Motivating. Next month, if I stick at it I may have finished the task.
I need this joint 🔥👀👀👀👀
Ah, this reminds me to continue making a similar device of my own, a project that has been going on for about, um, 2 years now... I've got macro bellows, I just need to figure out how to connect and hold the negative steadily in front of it and most importantly get even lighting behind it...
Hi Chris
Thanks for a great channel. A question. As I understand you are a fly fisherman. What fps would your choose when filming someone fly casting?
My grandpa has been building digitalization contraptions with DSLR's to scan old film for years if not decades
Amazing!
I Like it!
Recently I came back to analog photography. I bought the Epson V550 scanner for scanning negatives and I think this is a better solution. The price is similar and the scanner allows me to make larger changes during the scan.
Here's a comparison between a camera scan I made and my Epson V550. Note that while the Epson boasts large DPI figures, you're not actually getting that much resolution out of the negative. I would take camera scanning over a flatbed every time. imgur.com/a/GPKar6X
@@daviduuwastaken wow, the Epson 505 is so bad
Kinda frustrating, this is currently backordered in the U.S. with no idea of how long the wait will be -- so I ordered the ES-1 until then. Looking forward to trying this, thx!
Love the show!! SOOOO why no battery grip for the 780? Isnikon keeping it under raps like the Z series????
Still waiting for your Puddle photo book and worldwide puddle exhibition.
I wish Canon had something like this.
Good video :-) how is this different from Nikon es-1 ? Is the latter more manual ?
Cool!
Wow great i need that
Congratulations 👏
I built a very crude, Tap Plastics version of this for a Sony A6000 using the 30mm/3.5 macro lens. The part that I couldn't make was a nice film carrier. I would replace mine with this if I thought a 49mm/62mm adapter would work. I use Silverfast HDR and would not need the Nikon software.
"Oh puddles ... puddles ... PUDDLES! ... The duality is profound."
lol ... this made me laugh.
These photos are better than any of your recent stuff! Haha
Nostalgia? Kodak has had to invest in more infrastructure this year because it can't keep up with demand for its films. 4 new major films were released last year. Film seems to be one of the few areas of photography that is growing, albeit from a 'boutique' starting point. And having snarked like crazy there, I need to thank you for putting this vid out. I suspect not many of the top CZcams guys would entertain this area of photography. Thank you.
Meanwhile Fuji keeps discontinuing films
@@AryaStarky Like what? Fuji introduced a new Acros last year.
@@ianrosie4431 There's a rumor that Fuji stopped all film production years ago and they are just selling old stock.
They've cut a lot of slide film, and their cheapest colour film.
Their main interests are selling instax and disposable cameras (recent craze in Japan with young people) which when you think about is pretty horrible for the environment.
I think the Acros II is made in the UK? Presumably by Ilford.
@@Ruylopez778 It wouldn't be the first time, and I'd agree it's likely true.
@@ianrosie4431 And I don't blame Fuji if there's no way for them to scale back production - they make most of their money from pharmaceuticals now anyway.
But I hate the fake BS, of saying they have to raise prices though, and then saying they cut stocks because of falling demand.
Also it pissed me off that rather than sell their old peel apart technology to Impossible they just wanted to junk it all.
And they spout all this BS about their X-Series 'simulations'.....
It makes me want to retch. All the Fuji shooters thinking they are Cartier Bresson, and talking about how they have the "film experience".....
You should try setting up a really high res camera with a really good 100mm macro lens and see the quality difference.
Wow amazing wonder if Fuji could
Fuji are interested in you using their X-series simulations, disposable cameras, instax, and killing off their real film stocks
maybe makes sense to face the emulsion side towards the lens and not shooting through the strip layer.
And sadly no adapter for medium formats 4.5x6 > 6x9
I did alot of that some time ago. I used to use against a blue clear bright sky.. now I have a full frame Pentax k1 you have rekindled an interest.
What is the specifics lens requirement to make this adapter works? Are the ancient lens like 55/3.5 Micro worked?
Nice adapter. I have an old Nikon film scanner, but this looks like a nice way to do it much more quickly. Not as many correction options though. The scanner is amazing at recovering faded film and removing any dust and scratches. Hopefully they add support for the Z7 with firmware maybe.
💥✨💥 Thanks for the great video. Can you see using this setup as a person looking to offer digitizing as a service to customers.??
I should add that the instructions that came with my unit say it can be used with the Nikkor AF-S DX Micro 40 mm f2.8 G lens, or the AF-S Nikkor Micro 60 mm f2.8G. Nothing said in the instructions about using it with the Micro Nikkor 105.
Agfa & Tri-X here. I miss Agfa, too.
thanks
tri x 400, ?
ilfordhp5 for me dude . did thee try it when in london ?
Hello Sir, thank you for the informative and well made review. Would a AFS Micro NIKKOR 40 mm work with this adapter ? I imagine it would but I would like to make sure. Also, have you tested stand alone scanners? If yes, do they yield better results ?
I thank you in advance for your reply. Best regards. Michael
I think so, but you will need an APSC DSLR
Don't you realise that you need a letter from God for DPReview to reply...silly boy.
Yes you are probably right
need to get my hands on this kit, but struggling to find anyone in the UK with stock. Great video, thank you :)
Nooooo way! Moments after I commented on this, I checked a store I've looked at a couple of times this year and they had ONE in stock! Bagged!
@@RussDnB What was the store? I'm having the same issue!
@@Pfth Park Cameras. Just looked and they seem to be in stock at the mo too. Good luck!
@@RussDnB Thanks!
how well do you think this will work with a 18-75 kit lens with a d3400 ? if at all ?
any medium format options?
Does this work with the D3300 or do I have to upgrade to d780 just to obtain this feature
Great Video :-)
I use a Nikon Coolscan 5000 ED to digitize my old films
hold on to that thing, it will only appreciate in value and short of getting a drum scanner, you won't get better scans out of your film
@Bobby Brady drum scan also means you're doing wet scanning, that helps with scratches (but is very labour-intensive)
well , that's that sorted !!, I now know well in advance what I want for my next birthday prezzie - unless the other half wants to trip over the four space saver boxes full of faded prints and negatives for ANOTHER 11 years !!!
any plans to review Z7 firmware 3.0 ? and compare with Canon R/RP
looks like something you could relatively easily build yourself with a 3D printer
I mean these already exist as a desktop kit. Doing it as a camera attachment seems a little overkill.
There's even quite a few flatbed scanners with this same slide setup and a diffused light source in the lid.
Will the DX option be able to be mounted on my Nikon 1?
Can this be use on another camera with the same filter thread?
the light source is also important, anyone knows what light he’s using?
Do these work with medium format film as well? Or only 35mm?
How about slides? Also I have a lot of photo discs, I have a Nikon D800 and would like to know how to get these on my camera.
Filter threads are plastic against plastic and jam on tight no matter how careful you are. Silicone paste lube makes them tighter and eliminates locking.
Problem 2 is the 6 frame film holder sag on the long end. Fix is two wood blocks and rest the holder when scan is done.
D800e Nikon. Flip horizontal. WB on unexposed film and save. Now use inversion with curves, levels for exposure PLUS channel by channel if color neg for correct color. Fix density. No need for special 780 or 850. This makes fantastic scans , better thinly Minolta 5400.
This could have been made better but it is ok for me as I do little scanning now.
Will this thing work properly on a 90mm 2:1 macro lens with 67mm filter threads and a canon R5? Assuming i will step it down to 52.
Would this work on a canon mounting wise? its pretty easy to edit without the built in presets, just flip the curves etc
I think it doesn't matter, you can just use it on any DSLR with proper lens :)
Your video says I can use a Nikon 60 mm or Micro Nikkor 105 2.8, but I have been unable to use my brand new ES-2 adapter with my Nikkor 105 2.8. I think I need some extra extension tubes. Do such extension tubes exist. My unit came with a very short extension tube and a 1 1/4 inch long extension tube but neither works with my Nikkor Micro 105. Any suggestions??
I have a DX sensor D200 and micro nikkor 55mm --- I am guessing this is going to crop the image. Also own a Oly OMD M1 mark ii that has that half size sensor in it...guessing its going to crop even more of the image with the 50mm macro (Sharper than the micro nikkor!)
I'm trying to make my ancient Nikon Coolscan last forever. I have an embarrassing number of slides and negatives to digitize some day. I have a tendency to pull out particular ones when I happen to think of it, and then just generally feel guilty the rest of the time. By the way, did you ever try Kodak Ektar 25? Really cool film stock.
If it ever starts acting up on you, there's an ebay user named nikon_coolscan who does great work servicing the machines. If you're in the UK or Europe, you can check out lincolnscan.co.uk/
Can I use this apparatus with my Nikon D3200 with my kit lens?
What camera body was this? I never knew about this negative feature
Any such adapter that could be used with Fujifilm cameras?
Can it be used with a reverse mount macro lens?
This blew my mind lol.
Guys anyone knows if this film scanner is usable on an adapted m4/3 camera or it works only natively on Nikon cameras?
Is there something like this for a Canon DSLR? Thanks in advance!
