I used to hate camera scanning film, but this brilliant gadget converted me

I shoot a lot of film, which means I spend a lot of time digitizing my film – and if you have ever read my best film scanners guide then you might have got a glimpse into my endless quest to find the best way to do it.

I have tried camera scanning before, several times in fact, and I have tried really hard (and spent a fair amount of money) trying to make it work. Although each and every time I have just hated the experience. The space required, the equipment and tools, the hassle of lining everything up perfectly and getting the film to lay completely flat, and the perfect distance away from a flawlessly diffused light source. It’s just not for me.
