Hey Ray! I was just looking up reviews for this thing and yours came up. Just ordered mine along with some developing equipment since the labs closed. You're a mind reader!
Hey thanks so much Manuel, glad to be of service. one thing I forgot to mention in the video is the medium format digitaliza doesnt expose the film edges the same as the 35mm. I wind up using the stock epson holder for MF. youre gonna have fun developing, its a rush each time you take it out the tank and hold up to the light and realize you did that. let me know how it goes.
Thanks for the great review! This is the most thorough and pointed one I've seen so far. Thanks for the tips as well. I have a lot of older negatives in both 35 and 120, and I just started back shooting film recently so I may the 35 version a go and look for something better for my 120 film. Very nice photos as well and beautiful natural backdrop for the review!
Awesome Bruce, let me know how you get on with it. One thing I forgot to mention was that the medium format holders actually covers up the wording on the corners of the film, I mostly use the 35 mm one so I missed that
Thanks my man I appreciate your support. Yes there's not a lot of videos out there for lomography stuff I noticed. I'll be uploading a sprocket rocket review in the upcoming weeks hopefully
Great review - love those sprockets! I manage alright with the holders that came with my Epson V550, but I can definitely see the advantages of the Digitaliza. Good troubleshooting tips and advice, too!
Thanks OC, I find I get the best image quality running the 35mm thru a med format cam especially since the film is in the sweet spot of the lens but the rocket is nice and light a cute.. thks for checking this out.
Thanks techno I appreciate it. Some of those shots were taken with the sprocket rocket camera I will be doing a review of it in the upcoming weeks. Appreciate you stopping by
Always man, love your vids. Your vintage lens reviews have inspired me to take a look at them as an option for a little fun. I recently found a Nikkor 28mm prime 3.5 from the late 60s and just waiting for it to get here.
Thanks Ray, bought one to use in my v600, appreciate the tip about lining it up, can't wait until it arrives. Been scanning my grandparents negatives from the 1960s!
@@Raychristofer Yeah it's pretty cool, especially seeing my grandparents when they were about the same age I am now! My Grandmother went to the lord at 94 just over a year ago (Grandpa left us in 2001), so this has been an ongoing effort to digitize all these memories for the whole family to enjoy! :)

@@lemon58421 that's smooth man let me know how it goes. better yet I challenge you to shoot a video review of it if you're bad. No one has the guts to accept those challenges though in all the years I've been doing this lol
I happened upon your video while researching this gizmo. I've been using tape to hold down my negatives but I might give this a try. Thanks for the video!
Hello so glad it was helpful. No don't use tape it might leave residue on the glass. If the negative is too curly for this Gizmo to hold it down I use a glass from a photo frame. I also found out that the medium format holder is not up to par and it doesn't hold a negative flat enough while also blocking the edges of the negative so I wound up selling it. The 35 mm version is great though
Hello Franklin, really glad it was helpful. Thanks for stopping through. one thing I failed to mention in the video is the medium format holder does not expose the edges of the frame as it does with 35 mm. The clamps block the writing. Feel free to share your results if you get this.
Hello Ray, thank you for sharing, I just received mine, will do some testing. I have thousands of negatives to look into and see what I will keep. I just have a doubt, I am thinking about throwing away a lot of them, and just keep the best and more relevant, as I will digitizing with the Nikon D850. I still have to resolve the issue of scanning mounted slides. Have a great day and stay safe.
Hello how are you and thank you. hey what you said about throwing away negatives don't feel guilty about that because I had to do the same thing a few months ago. Realistically if we shoot a hundred images probably 20 of them are keepers so what's the point of us clogging up our film sleeves especially if the images are already stored on the computer. I never had much luck with DSLR scanning but if you do then that's great make sure you use a macro lens also. And shoot in a flatter profile so you get more highlights and shadows to work within host
Raychristofer Hello again, nice to hear from you. I been a photographer all my life, I got it from my father, he was a real enthusiast and I became a pro. I used to have my lab and developed myself for some years, some of my material have already been in art galleries and museums. So you must imagine... 😁, but you are right on what you say..., I know that will take some weeks to accomplish. I just got the micro 60mm. @miguelabriones that’s my Instagram account, and have some other web sites if you like to see. Send me your Instagram account, sure you have one... we could be in touch thru there, or by email, whichever is good for you... keep in touch.
Very good video. But a question, how do you focus with the Rolleicord while using 35mm in panorama view. It mights look a bit strange looking "arround the edge" ;-)?
Good video, thanks. When putting the film into the mask, do you have to cut it? I'm going to be using the LomoKino and want to keep the full 36 exposure length.
Hello how are you? There are slots on both sides of the track to allow you to push the film in one side and pull it out the other side but I've never tried that and I don't know if the clamps holds it so tight that it would be a lot of friction. Maybe when I get home from work I can try
I had to make my own 35mm and 120 masks from card cos I couldn't find masks that let me capture the film edges (hipster, I know, but I like them). The main problem with my homemade masks is that the film sits directly on my lightbox (I photograph it with a digital camera and macro lens). If the film is curved (some films curve more than others, Portra 400 120 is lovely and flat, Lomo films are super curvy) you'll get Newton rings where the film touches the lightbox. This doohicky looks like it could solve that. Thanks for reviewing ;)
Hello thanks for checking this out. One thing someone asked made me realize that the medium format scanning mask actually covers the edges and blocks the inscriptions so while this is good for keeping the film flatter doesn't allow scanning of the edges. What I do when I need the edges scanned of medium format I will put a photograph frame glass over the film on the scanning bed. Give that a try in a dark room so that you don't have any glass reflections
@@Raychristofer Ah - I'll have to stick with my homemade 120 mask then ;) (I photo negs in the dark. The main purpose of the mask is to stop stray light from the lightbox reflecting back off the camera onto the film surface... with early attempts I found myself wondering why there was an odd shadowy shape in the middle of all my pics... then I realised it was a Sony A7RII shaped shadow...)
Hey Ray! I'm trying to use the 35mm digitiliza and even though the sprocket holes are visible for the scan, the scan does not show them. It's like it somehow automatically crops them out even thought they should be visible in the Lomo holder. I'm using the Epson Scan 2 software. Any ideas? Thanks!
Hi, I just picked up one of the 35mm masks and when I scan the film the sprocket holes are coming out red. Using Vuescan and an Epson 2450. Any thoughts?
Hello I notice many times the edges of the sprockets have colors also. I think it's because the three layers of color in the film meet and develop together instead of it penetrating the film from top to bottom. I could be wrong.look up sprocket photos from others you may see the same thing. Or you may see some in This video. Also try the epson software
I had the 120 version and quickly returned it. As we see in this video, the holder does not clamp the film flat. It's warped longitudinally. The 120 version has the same effect, if not worse. The original Epson holders hold the film much flatter.
I agree and that's funny you said that because after making this video I realized I didn't mention this 120 holder even blocks the edges of the film so there's no point. I sold my 120 in eBay but the 35mm is great
The 120 version works extremely well for me. The films are almost perfectly flat. I use it on my Epson V700 (when lifted 2mm) and scans are sharper than ever.
@@stefan_becker then I can only assume sample variation in either the Lomography holder, or in the films we all use. I use a variety of film brands, and had the issue with all of them, so I'm going to provisionally place the blame on sample variation on the digitaliza.
@@giuseppeg.8461 I mean it's probably not as perfect as a glass holder with AN glass but much much better than the Epson holder, that can be extremely frustrating. I have scratched film more than a dozend times just trying to put a film in that weird Epson holder. With the Lomography holder it takes at most 30 seconds and the film is also definitively much flatter than with my Epson V700 holder. It's at least flat enough to get really really sharp scans of my 6x6 (Zenza Bronica) and 6x9 GW690 black&white negatives with my Epson scanner and my Sony A7rIV with Sigma 105mm 2,8 DG DN "misused" as a scanner at 1/2s, f11 at ISO 100.
@@stefan_becker not for me, no. My V550 holders are way better than the digitaliza. With the included plastic card accessory they do a good job I find. Again, I might have stumbled on defective digitaliza, twice.
Hey actually no I don't. When my MF film is heavily bent I make a note not to buy that brand again and in worst case scenarios I lay a sheet of glass in top of the negative..I actually have mostly been shooting 35mm lately as I realize MF has so much fine detail it almost looks too digital and clean sometimes.
Hi Ray, hope you and your family are safe and well. I have a V600 and hate the film holders, I was looking into theses and found you again !! since it has been almost 10 months since this video I wonder if you would still recommend this for 120 film and if I buy 1 through you link does it help you ?
Hello Mike thanks how are you? Actually I don't recommend the MF holder because I found it not only doesn't it show the film borders but it doesn't hold the film flat . I ended up selling my 120 holder. The advantage of the 35mm holder is it holds the film flatter. If my film is not heavily curved I may choose to use the standard 35 holder simply because I can scan two strips at same time. If like to see some of your work feel free to share your Instagram
Thanks so much for this review/mini tutorial :D I recently bought the Epson v850 and have been using the film holders that it came with - which now have a piece of plastic material in between the negative and the scanner glass and is a crazy dust magnet. I spend about 2 hours removing dust from each roll of film I scan (after using gloves, an anti-static cloth and a blower :O lol) so I purchased two of these. Just wanted to know how focused the scanned photos are compared to the negative holders that come with the epson scanners. I know with the v850 the holders have little feet that you can test to find the sweet focus spot of your scanner but these don't seem to have that.
Hello how are you? the focusing is a good question but I never have problems with sharpness. the problem is if the film is severely curled when i remove the magnet it doesnt stay fully flat but my photos still come out fine. interestingly when im using a flat film I will go back to using the stick holder as I can scan two strips at a time. yes I heard some of the epson models have a plastic in between thats not a smart design. what I do is use a silk cloth to wipe the film as well as the scanner glass and dust is rarely a problem. trust me even with these theres no perfect scanning routine yet, so many different ways people do it including photographing the negatives. hope this helps.
@@Raychristofer Thanks so much! I'll let you know how it goes when I scan my next batch of film. When I get really curled film, what I'll do is make a paper envelope to hold and protect the film and then leave it under a few of my heavy books for a few days. It really helps make the film much flatter.
Hi Ray - this is a good review, except for the fact that the digitaliza DOES NOT HOLD THE FILM FLAT. At 4:08 in your review you can see the film is crowned from side to side. Yes - you can see the sprockets - but the film is not flat, so the scans are out of focus and distorted. People should know before they spend hard earned money.
I don't know why folks make comments like that before watching the whole vid. I mentioned exactly what you said at about 1:50 and I also said it' about the medium format holder. And no my photos in this video Werent blurry
@@Raychristofer Hi Ray - I did watch the whole video becasue I own one of these (for 35mm) and it does not hold the film flat, and I was seeking answers. You yourself say, "you will still see a slight bow in it." And that is my point. If a slight bow is acceptable, then fine. Roll with it. But if we are looking for a holder that holds the film truly flat - then this is not the holder. I am looking at several other holders that that grab more of the film and have cross bars...you do lose the sprocket holes. There is also the option of getting an anti newton glass insert (about $30 - not from lomography) for the digitaliza to cure the inherent shortcoming of the holder. I meant no disrespect - but people should know - digitaliza does not hold the film truly flat.
@@johngskewes I hear you my man. There's a film by Arista EDU that goes horribly, and in cases like that I put a flat photography pane of Glass on top of it. It makes me wonder how they kept the film flat back in the old days when they used and lawyers. Or maybe it was the same problem. Sometimes what I will do is roll the film in the opposite direction of the curl and let it sit for an hour before scanning and that usually helps. Yeah man I don't have a perfect solution either
Thank you for this video!! The Lomo website gives so little information about these. Can you tell me though -- does the 120 mask fit 6x17cm exposures? Thanks
Hello thank you and that's a good question, I actually don't remember how wide it is. One thing I don't like about the medium format holder is it doesn't hold the film flat enough and for that reason I ended up selling it and I also didn't realize when I was shooting this review that it doesn't actually show you the edges of the frame if you want to scan it that way.
Hello I know it will not work the light has to shine through it. it's interesting to watch because the top cover has a motorized light that moves while at the same time there's a motor at the bottom attached to a motorized scanner. I'm curious what would happen if you put a thin light table on top of the film using a regular flatbed scanner. what's ridiculous is when I bought my scanner it was $180 but now looking around I see the same one going for five to six hundred bucks
@@Raychristofer Thanks for your response! I only have a printer/scanner combo so I was wondering if this would be a viable option. If you don't mind, which flatbed scanner do you use?
Hello Hans you're right bro I failed to mention the 120 holder doesn't show the border words like the 35mm. And it also doesn't hold it flat enough. I sold my 120 holder for that reason. This is one of those videos when I re-watch I wish I had been more accurate.
since the film goes top to bottom on the rolleicord, how did you expose the 35mm film horizontally? Did you hold the camera sideways? Also, did you use a 35 mm adapter for the rolleicord?
Hello good questions, I put the 35mm cassette in the same spot ont he bottom and it fits snug no adaptor needed. yes i had to hold it sideways its tricky for sure and also theres a large gap between frames and I have to remove it in a changing bag. cool still tho because if you see my sprocket rocket review its image quality is not good so medium format is perfect optics.
@@Raychristofer the optics are great, it's like having an 80mm 3.5 tessar/xenar on an SLR. I did a similar thing, using 35mm film in a 6x9 Moskva rangefinder, also great results, basically like taking three shots with a 105mm lens and stitching them
@@Raychristofer I chose some of the best frames I took with the camera and uploaded them to flickr with a little bit of comments. I enjoy shooting with it, it requires a little bit of DIY and I do enjoy that as well. The album: www.flickr.com/gp/22366347@N02/c0aU88
Raychristofer i like that idea :-) might i should get and try a rolleicord too, just started on my linhof master with a 6x17 shen hao sh617 roll film back - just love those panoramic formats :-)
Hi Ray! Would you recommend this scanning mask if I wanted to digitalize via DSLR? I'm trying to find the best way to hold up my negative flatly against a bright surface to photograph it.
Hello you can do that but I don't think it's necessary for your application I'm going to show you a link to a light pad that I use to look at my negatives and you can put a photography frame glass on top of it with the negative in between that is probably the best way , the thing is you need a clean white balance light . Because this kit doesn't hold the film perfectly flat it's not the best for what you're trying to do www.amazon.com/LITENERGY-Ultra-Thin-Adjustable-Streaming-Stenciling/dp/B07H7FLJX1?ref_=Oct_LDealC_c9ih1_0_f9aa09e8&pf_rd_p=e2833080-27ef-5647-816f-f53f8731364e&pf_rd_s=mobile-hybrid-5&pf_rd_t=30901&pf_rd_i=12896801&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=26B44BNWX1S69A3FDANS&pf_rd_r=26B44BNWX1S69A3FDANS&pf_rd_p=e2833080-27ef-5647-816f-f53f8731364e
@@Raychristofer Thank you, this sounds perfect! Would a basic pane of frame glass that I get from a craft store work, or should I look for very clear, clean glass?
@@Raychristofer Great thank you! I got some scans back from the lab that were overexposed, so I thought it might be fun to do it myself. I also checked out your sprocket rocket video, and am tempted by one of those too.
Hello yes I actually featured the medium format version in this video but I have to say after using it extensively I can't recommend it for two reasons, number one it does not expose the numbers and words on the edges of the film as it does for 35 mm and it doesn't lay the film flat as it should, once you remove the magnet it bows again so I ended up selling the medium format version and keeping the 35 mm
Well, I actually never comment, but this time I just had to. First of all: You seem like a very nice guy. Also I like the different look of the video compared to every other youtuber in his office. Also I found this to be very informative. Thumbs up! But: I would never ever try to touch the film strip with my bare hands as you do at 3:28. It always leaves some fatty fingerprint. So I would recommend either trying to get the film in with tweezers or I would wear some gloves... Just saying, this rubbed me the wrong way a bit.
Hello how are you? I'm using the Epson v600, honestly I failed to mention the 120 digitaliza doesn't do a good job with medium format because it doesn't hold the film acceptably flat and it covers the edges of the film. I wound up selling mine and keeping the 35mm one. Use the 120 holder that comes with the scanner. Hope this helps
Hello Scott after I uploaded this review I fully tested the and was very disappointed Stetsons in the what holds the film by the edges it does cover the lettering in a way that it doesn't do on 35 millimeter. I actually had to change the description to reflect that so the only benefit with medium format holder is that it holds the film a bit flatter
Hello scott how are you? im just looking back at this old reply and realized voice text ruined my message. you must have thought i was retarded. i was saying the medium format holder i found out does not expose the film edges as advertised. and doesnt hold it flat enough, for that reason I sold my medium format unit.
Hello how are you? Is it 35 mm or medium format you're using? Yes if the film is very curled like half a cylinder can be tricky. Once you lay that magnet on top it should flatten the film so that the edges of the film reach the ledge. Did you follow the exact same sequence I showed in the video?
@@Raychristofer The curl of the film is such that if I get one edge above the mask and able to be grasped the opposite will push up against the mask. Yes, I followed you.
@@dumkopf that is tricky so far I haven't had it happen where I just couldn't get it to finally grasp but your film must be more curled. You may have to leave that film inside a heavy book for 24 hours before trying it again. Also try one of your older negatives that you have in your archives to narrow down the problem
@@Raychristofer Hi, Thanks for your answer. My Canon does have a backlight and this scanner does have adapters for 35mm film. Why won't this adapter work?
Wow that is very strange. One thing I forgot to mention in this video is the 120 holder actually does block that writing on the edges. I use the 35 mm holder religiously but I actually sold the medium format version as I don't see an improvement over the stock holder especially since it doesn't hold as flat as I would like
Hello how are you? It depends on the scanner you have, the scanner I have is only able to scan medium-format negatives, . I'm using the Epson v600. if you want to scan two at a time you will need a scanner that is able to scan large format so do a little research on that. wait now that I think of it the v600 comes with a scanning tray that can scan 2 35 mm side-by-side that's something that lomography adapter can't do with my scanner as it would be too wide.
Hello grooves me , no I was looking at it on kickstarter and it's like 10 bucks a roll. What I don't understand is whether the scanners Auto color correction will be thrown off by this different color palette
Yeah Dan you're right. I mentioned that in the video. What disappointed me was the medium format one as it blocks the edges of the film and it's even less flat. I didn't get alot of use from it before making this video and I should have mentioned that . I ended up selling the MF one for that reason
Hello I know, it's out of stock a lot of times I realized. The first time I asked lomography could they send me one to produce a review they said it's in such high demand they can't provide me a sample to test the same way they do with film. In my opinion the medium format version is not worth it because it really doesn't hold the film flat and I forgot to mention in the video that it does block the edges of the film so you can't see the name and the Border.
@@MrKen-wy5dk crap you could probably get a one-wheel pint before that. I know with film they usually make a certain amount of batches for the year and maybe that's the way it is with these scaning trays also
i dint get the advantage, it warps the film. shouldnt it be holding the film flat?Otherwise great video great location and great explanation, just the product is worthless i think
Thank you. You using 35mm? It doesn't warp the film if you place magnet on top and make sure it's aligned straight in the track. I found the medium format holder no no better than stock but the 35mm is ok so far.
Raychristofer no iam using 120 film, i saw on your video how warped the film is when you hold it into the camer you can see it in the reflection, i think i will construct something on my own and see what happens :)
Yeah man you're right. Especially with the medium format I wound up selling that holder, I found the benefit of the 35 mm holder is when the film is extremely curved. What I use the 35 holder for now is scanning my full negatives to get the sprocket holes.
@@Raychristofer :-) I am still looking for a good film holder for my 35m films on my Epson V700, for MF I found a good one with a glass and works perfect! :-)
@@lemon58421 that's awesome, also what I do now is I only buy film that lays flat and scans nicely and it helps because the stock 35 mm holder can scan ten frames at a time so I only use the digitalizer for technical scans
@@Raychristofer With my glass MF film holder no problem due to the galss inside, but I don't have any for my 35mm! and the films I still develop are still very bombed...I found some on ebay but the price is very expensive! and since I live in Europe even more expensive to bring this from,the Unided States! :-)

Are you kidding? I can out tech the next guy. I’ve been thinking about digitizing slides for a while. I’d like to build a contraption to use my RX100 camera with. My road block right now is finding something to put the slides into that streamlines it and makes it easier to bulk photograph.
@@annelisabethcom I saw a CZcams video weeks ago of a guy that made his own slide scanning tool that allowed him to take a shot pull the film to the next frame and take another shot do it quicker. I searched to give you the link but I can't find the video again. I have a tripod with an overhead arm attachment that I use for top-down product photography that would be perfect for you along with the light table. It's important that you work out your idea and create that item for yourself because that's how great inventions are made. You could probably find everything you need at a dollar store it's just a matter of coming up with a good design. Let me know how it goes
Raychristofer Yeah, a Dollar store would be nice. But I’m not in the US. I’ve searched ebay for solutions for that part of it. I would prefer a rack solution, with a black tube between camera and slides. But until I find the right mechanism for the slides, finding the solutions to the rest isn’t worth it.
Yeah man thats somthing I mentioned its not perfectly flat. the 120 holder I actually sold as I realized it covers the film borders. I do love the 35mm holder though the scans look great. if you have a diy way that works rock it.

@@Raychristofer I'm too shy to make videos and see myself :-)
I happened upon your video while researching this gizmo. I've been using tape to hold down my negatives but I might give this a try. Thanks for the video!
Hello so glad it was helpful. No don't use tape it might leave residue on the glass. If the negative is too curly for this Gizmo to hold it down I use a glass from a photo frame. I also found out that the medium format holder is not up to par and it doesn't hold a negative flat enough while also blocking the edges of the negative so I wound up selling it. The 35 mm version is great though
Great review, thanks!
pretty cool channel - hope you get to that 5k soon
Thanks so much bro. Respect,
Thanks - very helpful reviews
Good looking out bro
I use both of them. Mini and medium format. Works perfect.
Thank you thank you thank you for this video!!!! Really helpful.
Hello Franklin, really glad it was helpful. Thanks for stopping through. one thing I failed to mention in the video is the medium format holder does not expose the edges of the frame as it does with 35 mm. The clamps block the writing. Feel free to share your results if you get this.
Great video! Thanks!

Whats up cousin Steve? this is the last vid I thought youd be interested in lol. you surprised me. thanks for stopping by
Raychristofer I’m thinking of starting a channel too. I got to check out your video on equipment to start a CZcams channel.
Have the 120 version of the Digitaliza. It´s much much better than the plastic contraption that came with the scanner. Recommend it!
Hey thanks for checking this out. one thing I forgot to mention when I made this video was that the 120 version does block the edges of the 120 film.
Hello Ray, thank you for sharing, I just received mine, will do some testing. I have thousands of negatives to look into and see what I will keep.
I just have a doubt, I am thinking about throwing away a lot of them, and just keep the best and more relevant, as I will digitizing with the Nikon D850.
I still have to resolve the issue of scanning mounted slides.
Have a great day and stay safe.
Hello how are you and thank you. hey what you said about throwing away negatives don't feel guilty about that because I had to do the same thing a few months ago. Realistically if we shoot a hundred images probably 20 of them are keepers so what's the point of us clogging up our film sleeves especially if the images are already stored on the computer. I never had much luck with DSLR scanning but if you do then that's great make sure you use a macro lens also. And shoot in a flatter profile so you get more highlights and shadows to work within host
Raychristofer Hello again, nice to hear from you. I been a photographer all my life, I got it from my father, he was a real enthusiast and I became a pro. I used to have my lab and developed myself for some years, some of my material have already been in art galleries and museums. So you must imagine... 😁, but you are right on what you say..., I know that will take some weeks to accomplish. I just got the micro 60mm. @miguelabriones that’s my Instagram account, and have some other web sites if you like to see. Send me your Instagram account, sure you have one... we could be in touch thru there, or by email, whichever is good for you... keep in touch.

@@davidthompson8153 thanks man much respect.
Very good video. But a question, how do you focus with the Rolleicord while using 35mm in panorama view. It mights look a bit strange looking "arround the edge" ;-)?
Good video, thanks.
When putting the film into the mask, do you have to cut it? I'm going to be using the LomoKino and want to keep the full 36 exposure length.
Hello how are you? There are slots on both sides of the track to allow you to push the film in one side and pull it out the other side but I've never tried that and I don't know if the clamps holds it so tight that it would be a lot of friction. Maybe when I get home from work I can try
I had to make my own 35mm and 120 masks from card cos I couldn't find masks that let me capture the film edges (hipster, I know, but I like them). The main problem with my homemade masks is that the film sits directly on my lightbox (I photograph it with a digital camera and macro lens). If the film is curved (some films curve more than others, Portra 400 120 is lovely and flat, Lomo films are super curvy) you'll get Newton rings where the film touches the lightbox. This doohicky looks like it could solve that. Thanks for reviewing ;)
Hello thanks for checking this out. One thing someone asked made me realize that the medium format scanning mask actually covers the edges and blocks the inscriptions so while this is good for keeping the film flatter doesn't allow scanning of the edges. What I do when I need the edges scanned of medium format I will put a photograph frame glass over the film on the scanning bed. Give that a try in a dark room so that you don't have any glass reflections
@@Raychristofer Ah - I'll have to stick with my homemade 120 mask then ;) (I photo negs in the dark. The main purpose of the mask is to stop stray light from the lightbox reflecting back off the camera onto the film surface... with early attempts I found myself wondering why there was an odd shadowy shape in the middle of all my pics... then I realised it was a Sony A7RII shaped shadow...)
Hey Ray! I'm trying to use the 35mm digitiliza and even though the sprocket holes are visible for the scan, the scan does not show them. It's like it somehow automatically crops them out even thought they should be visible in the Lomo holder. I'm using the Epson Scan 2 software. Any ideas? Thanks!
good idea
Thanks mike
Hi, I just picked up one of the 35mm masks and when I scan the film the sprocket holes are coming out red. Using Vuescan and an Epson 2450. Any thoughts?
Hello I notice many times the edges of the sprockets have colors also. I think it's because the three layers of color in the film meet and develop together instead of it penetrating the film from top to bottom. I could be wrong.look up sprocket photos from others you may see the same thing. Or you may see some in This video. Also try the epson software
I had the 120 version and quickly returned it. As we see in this video, the holder does not clamp the film flat. It's warped longitudinally. The 120 version has the same effect, if not worse. The original Epson holders hold the film much flatter.
I agree and that's funny you said that because after making this video I realized I didn't mention this 120 holder even blocks the edges of the film so there's no point. I sold my 120 in eBay but the 35mm is great
The 120 version works extremely well for me. The films are almost perfectly flat. I use it on my Epson V700 (when lifted 2mm) and scans are sharper than ever.
@@stefan_becker then I can only assume sample variation in either the Lomography holder, or in the films we all use. I use a variety of film brands, and had the issue with all of them, so I'm going to provisionally place the blame on sample variation on the digitaliza.
@@giuseppeg.8461 I mean it's probably not as perfect as a glass holder with AN glass but much much better than the Epson holder, that can be extremely frustrating. I have scratched film more than a dozend times just trying to put a film in that weird Epson holder. With the Lomography holder it takes at most 30 seconds and the film is also definitively much flatter than with my Epson V700 holder. It's at least flat enough to get really really sharp scans of my 6x6 (Zenza Bronica) and 6x9 GW690 black&white negatives with my Epson scanner and my Sony A7rIV with Sigma 105mm 2,8 DG DN "misused" as a scanner at 1/2s, f11 at ISO 100.
@@stefan_becker not for me, no. My V550 holders are way better than the digitaliza. With the included plastic card accessory they do a good job I find. Again, I might have stumbled on defective digitaliza, twice.
Hey after posting my question I read down the list and saw that you sold your 120 holder, do you know another option ?
Hey actually no I don't. When my MF film is heavily bent I make a note not to buy that brand again and in worst case scenarios I lay a sheet of glass in top of the negative..I actually have mostly been shooting 35mm lately as I realize MF has so much fine detail it almost looks too digital and clean sometimes.
Hi Ray, hope you and your family are safe and well. I have a V600 and hate the film holders, I was looking into theses and found you again !! since it has been almost 10 months since this video I wonder if you would still recommend this for 120 film and if I buy 1 through you link does it help you ?
Hello Mike thanks how are you? Actually I don't recommend the MF holder because I found it not only doesn't it show the film borders but it doesn't hold the film flat . I ended up selling my 120 holder. The advantage of the 35mm holder is it holds the film flatter. If my film is not heavily curved I may choose to use the standard 35 holder simply because I can scan two strips at same time. If like to see some of your work feel free to share your Instagram
heeeeey thaaaanksss!!!
hello ur welcome
Thanks so much for this review/mini tutorial :D
I recently bought the Epson v850 and have been using the film holders that it came with - which now have a piece of plastic material in between the negative and the scanner glass and is a crazy dust magnet. I spend about 2 hours removing dust from each roll of film I scan (after using gloves, an anti-static cloth and a blower :O lol) so I purchased two of these.
Just wanted to know how focused the scanned photos are compared to the negative holders that come with the epson scanners. I know with the v850 the holders have little feet that you can test to find the sweet focus spot of your scanner but these don't seem to have that.
Hello how are you? the focusing is a good question but I never have problems with sharpness. the problem is if the film is severely curled when i remove the magnet it doesnt stay fully flat but my photos still come out fine. interestingly when im using a flat film I will go back to using the stick holder as I can scan two strips at a time. yes I heard some of the epson models have a plastic in between thats not a smart design. what I do is use a silk cloth to wipe the film as well as the scanner glass and dust is rarely a problem. trust me even with these theres no perfect scanning routine yet, so many different ways people do it including photographing the negatives. hope this helps.
@@Raychristofer Thanks so much! I'll let you know how it goes when I scan my next batch of film.
When I get really curled film, what I'll do is make a paper envelope to hold and protect the film and then leave it under a few of my heavy books for a few days. It really helps make the film much flatter.
While searching I found they make one for 110 film
Hi Ray - this is a good review, except for the fact that the digitaliza DOES NOT HOLD THE FILM FLAT. At 4:08 in your review you can see the film is crowned from side to side.
Yes - you can see the sprockets - but the film is not flat, so the scans are out of focus and distorted.
People should know before they spend hard earned money.
I don't know why folks make comments like that before watching the whole vid. I mentioned exactly what you said at about 1:50 and I also said it' about the medium format holder. And no my photos in this video Werent blurry
@@Raychristofer Hi Ray - I did watch the whole video becasue I own one of these (for 35mm) and it does not hold the film flat, and I was seeking answers.
You yourself say, "you will still see a slight bow in it." And that is my point. If a slight bow is acceptable, then fine. Roll with it. But if we are looking for a holder that holds the film truly flat - then this is not the holder.
I am looking at several other holders that that grab more of the film and have cross bars...you do lose the sprocket holes.
There is also the option of getting an anti newton glass insert (about $30 - not from lomography) for the digitaliza to cure the inherent shortcoming of the holder.
I meant no disrespect - but people should know - digitaliza does not hold the film truly flat.
@@johngskewes I hear you my man. There's a film by Arista EDU that goes horribly, and in cases like that I put a flat photography pane of Glass on top of it. It makes me wonder how they kept the film flat back in the old days when they used and lawyers. Or maybe it was the same problem. Sometimes what I will do is roll the film in the opposite direction of the curl and let it sit for an hour before scanning and that usually helps. Yeah man I don't have a perfect solution either
how many frames can fit into the 35mm mask?
Thank you for this video!! The Lomo website gives so little information about these. Can you tell me though -- does the 120 mask fit 6x17cm exposures? Thanks
Hello thank you and that's a good question, I actually don't remember how wide it is. One thing I don't like about the medium format holder is it doesn't hold the film flat enough and for that reason I ended up selling it and I also didn't realize when I was shooting this review that it doesn't actually show you the edges of the frame if you want to scan it that way.
@@Raychristofer Thank you!
@@beemeph word up , thanks
Hello Ray, does this work with any regular document scanner, even ones that are not backlit? Thanks!
Hello I know it will not work the light has to shine through it. it's interesting to watch because the top cover has a motorized light that moves while at the same time there's a motor at the bottom attached to a motorized scanner. I'm curious what would happen if you put a thin light table on top of the film using a regular flatbed scanner. what's ridiculous is when I bought my scanner it was $180 but now looking around I see the same one going for five to six hundred bucks
@@Raychristofer Thanks for your response!
I only have a printer/scanner combo so I was wondering if this would be a viable option. If you don't mind, which flatbed scanner do you use?
Does the medium format one really include the rims with the film name on it? those are pretty thin already...
Hello Hans you're right bro I failed to mention the 120 holder doesn't show the border words like the 35mm. And it also doesn't hold it flat enough. I sold my 120 holder for that reason. This is one of those videos when I re-watch I wish I had been more accurate.
@@Raychristofer Thanks! That is the question no review seemed to answer!
since the film goes top to bottom on the rolleicord, how did you expose the 35mm film horizontally? Did you hold the camera sideways? Also, did you use a 35 mm adapter for the rolleicord?
Hello good questions, I put the 35mm cassette in the same spot ont he bottom and it fits snug no adaptor needed. yes i had to hold it sideways its tricky for sure and also theres a large gap between frames and I have to remove it in a changing bag. cool still tho because if you see my sprocket rocket review its image quality is not good so medium format is perfect optics.
@@Raychristofer the optics are great, it's like having an 80mm 3.5 tessar/xenar on an SLR. I did a similar thing, using 35mm film in a 6x9 Moskva rangefinder, also great results, basically like taking three shots with a 105mm lens and stitching them
@@RexBer I'd love to see some of your images from that Russian rangefinder. I've been looking at it for quite a while on eBay
@@Raychristofer I chose some of the best frames I took with the camera and uploaded them to flickr with a little bit of comments. I enjoy shooting with it, it requires a little bit of DIY and I do enjoy that as well. The album: www.flickr.com/gp/22366347@N02/c0aU88

Hi Ray! Would you recommend this scanning mask if I wanted to digitalize via DSLR? I'm trying to find the best way to hold up my negative flatly against a bright surface to photograph it.
Hello you can do that but I don't think it's necessary for your application I'm going to show you a link to a light pad that I use to look at my negatives and you can put a photography frame glass on top of it with the negative in between that is probably the best way , the thing is you need a clean white balance light . Because this kit doesn't hold the film perfectly flat it's not the best for what you're trying to do

@@NickCheng93 honestly I get frames sometime from the dollar store and just clean the glass well, use the best type you can find though
@@Raychristofer Great thank you! I got some scans back from the lab that were overexposed, so I thought it might be fun to do it myself. I also checked out your sprocket rocket video, and am tempted by one of those too.
I was looking for the 120 version and found this video. Do you have the 120
Hello yes I actually featured the medium format version in this video but I have to say after using it extensively I can't recommend it for two reasons, number one it does not expose the numbers and words on the edges of the film as it does for 35 mm and it doesn't lay the film flat as it should, once you remove the magnet it bows again so I ended up selling the medium format version and keeping the 35 mm
Well, I actually never comment, but this time I just had to.
First of all: You seem like a very nice guy. Also I like the different look of the video compared to every other youtuber in his office. Also I found this to be very informative. Thumbs up!
But: I would never ever try to touch the film strip with my bare hands as you do at 3:28. It always leaves some fatty fingerprint. So I would recommend either trying to get the film in with tweezers or I would wear some gloves... Just saying, this rubbed me the wrong way a bit.
Ray a quick question. What film scanner do you use/recommend? I have just bought a Zenza Bronica ETRS from Japan and intend to scan my films.
Hello how are you? I'm using the Epson v600, honestly I failed to mention the 120 digitaliza doesn't do a good job with medium format because it doesn't hold the film acceptably flat and it covers the edges of the film. I wound up selling mine and keeping the 35mm one. Use the 120 holder that comes with the scanner. Hope this helps

@@tonyb2614 killer, let me know how it goes
@@Raychristofer Will do. Now I'm retired it's time to get creative 'Keep it real'!!
can you get the lettering on the film edges with the 120 holder? Good stuff man keep it up!
Hello Scott after I uploaded this review I fully tested the and was very disappointed Stetsons in the what holds the film by the edges it does cover the lettering in a way that it doesn't do on 35 millimeter. I actually had to change the description to reflect that so the only benefit with medium format holder is that it holds the film a bit flatter
Hello scott how are you? im just looking back at this old reply and realized voice text ruined my message. you must have thought i was retarded. i was saying the medium format holder i found out does not expose the film edges as advertised. and doesnt hold it flat enough, for that reason I sold my medium format unit.
Raychristofer no worries. I’m horrible about voice texting also. Lol
I’m have a real hard time getting this to work. Can I pay you to scan some negative for me?
Hey ray, I just got my digitaliza in and need some help. I can't get it to grasp the edges of my negatives. Any tips for that?
Hello how are you? Is it 35 mm or medium format you're using? Yes if the film is very curled like half a cylinder can be tricky. Once you lay that magnet on top it should flatten the film so that the edges of the film reach the ledge. Did you follow the exact same sequence I showed in the video?
@@Raychristofer The curl of the film is such that if I get one edge above the mask and able to be grasped the opposite will push up against the mask.
Yes, I followed you.
@@dumkopf that is tricky so far I haven't had it happen where I just couldn't get it to finally grasp but your film must be more curled. You may have to leave that film inside a heavy book for 24 hours before trying it again. Also try one of your older negatives that you have in your archives to narrow down the problem
@@Raychristofer Ok thanks. I'll try it.
Will this work with 110 Film negatives and a Canon 9000F Mark II scanner?
Hello no it wouldn't work. You can use the glass from a picture frame to put it on your scanner bed to keep it flat though
@@Raychristofer Hi, Thanks for your answer. My Canon does have a backlight and this scanner does have adapters for 35mm film. Why won't this adapter work?
What result would ANR glass produce instead?
I don't know I've never tried it but honestly when I lay the negative flat with a glass pane on top I don't really see any problems with the scans
@@Raychristofer Is the Nikon F3 a good film camera to start with?
@@erikleypoldt8275 yes of course, all those age of Nikon's aregood remember they used to bring them into wartimesituations
Just returned mine as it was not quite wide enough for my 120 film. It caused a buckle in the film so useless.
Wow that is very strange. One thing I forgot to mention in this video is the 120 holder actually does block that writing on the edges. I use the 35 mm holder religiously but I actually sold the medium format version as I don't see an improvement over the stock holder especially since it doesn't hold as flat as I would like
Brother, can i scan with 2 adapters at the same time?
Hello how are you? It depends on the scanner you have, the scanner I have is only able to scan medium-format negatives, . I'm using the Epson v600. if you want to scan two at a time you will need a scanner that is able to scan large format so do a little research on that. wait now that I think of it the v600 comes with a scanning tray that can scan 2 35 mm side-by-side that's something that lomography adapter can't do with my scanner as it would be too wide.
@@Raychristofer Am goood, thanks for answering, Am using v600, so it will not work....
What kind of scanner did you use?

Have you ordered the Metropolis yet?
Hello grooves me , no I was looking at it on kickstarter and it's like 10 bucks a roll. What I don't understand is whether the scanners Auto color correction will be thrown off by this different color palette
@@Raychristofer that's a good question I suggest asking them.
It doesn’t look very flat
Yeah Dan you're right. I mentioned that in the video. What disappointed me was the medium format one as it blocks the edges of the film and it's even less flat. I didn't get alot of use from it before making this video and I should have mentioned that . I ended up selling the MF one for that reason
"does not ship to Australia" OH......OK :(
that's discrimination man we need to protest LOL. Try lomography website directly instead of Amazon and see what happens
It's out of stock everywhere at this time.
Hello I know, it's out of stock a lot of times I realized. The first time I asked lomography could they send me one to produce a review they said it's in such high demand they can't provide me a sample to test the same way they do with film. In my opinion the medium format version is not worth it because it really doesn't hold the film flat and I forgot to mention in the video that it does block the edges of the film so you can't see the name and the Border.

Cool video but the film is not realy flat!
Yeah man you're right. Especially with the medium format I wound up selling that holder, I found the benefit of the 35 mm holder is when the film is extremely curved. What I use the 35 holder for now is scanning my full negatives to get the sprocket holes.

Are you kidding? I can out tech the next guy. I’ve been thinking about digitizing slides for a while. I’d like to build a contraption to use my RX100 camera with. My road block right now is finding something to put the slides into that streamlines it and makes it easier to bulk photograph.
@@annelisabethcom I saw a CZcams video weeks ago of a guy that made his own slide scanning tool that allowed him to take a shot pull the film to the next frame and take another shot do it quicker. I searched to give you the link but I can't find the video again. I have a tripod with an overhead arm attachment that I use for top-down product photography that would be perfect for you along with the light table. It's important that you work out your idea and create that item for yourself because that's how great inventions are made. You could probably find everything you need at a dollar store it's just a matter of coming up with a good design. Let me know how it goes
Raychristofer Yeah, a Dollar store would be nice. But I’m not in the US. I’ve searched ebay for solutions for that part of it. I would prefer a rack solution, with a black tube between camera and slides. But until I find the right mechanism for the slides, finding the solutions to the rest isn’t worth it.
That film was still not flat! This looks useless! I scan frame by frame using my diy holders,perfectly flat for less money!
