Advertisement Posted January 18, 2022 Posted January 18, 2022 Hi Guest, Take a look here negative.supply. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
250swb Posted January 18, 2022 Share #2 Posted January 18, 2022 I think what you have there is a solution to problems that don't exist, well at least problems that can't be solved easily and far more cheaply. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pop Posted January 18, 2022 Share #3 Posted January 18, 2022 Yes, there are: https://www.valoi.co/ https://www.pixl-latr.com/ https://www.kaiser-fototechnik.de/de/produkte/index.php?s=254 or even https://www.novoflex.de/de/produkte/aufnahmetisch-magic-studio/repro.html ( seems to be a bit of overkill) Which product by negative supply is it that you want to know more of? The film carrier was crowdfunded in Kickstarter ( http://kck.st/301j2ta ). If you have any questions about that, I might be able to help. BTW, negative supply is now developing a light meter.

UliWer Posted January 18, 2022 Share #4 Posted January 18, 2022 You might have a look at: https://www.kaiser-fototechnik.de/en/produkte/index.php?s=3 The "Film Copy Vario" is well made, though I find the exact positioning for the camera rather difficult. Perhaps it's better together with the Copy Stand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 18, 2022 Share #5 Posted January 18, 2022 Developing now a light meter - good to know. I’ll have a look on eBay at the products you kindly mentioned from traditional brands. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pop Posted January 18, 2022 Share #6 Posted January 18, 2022 I found the 'film carrier' by negative supply quite useful for copying strips or even rolls of film, as it copes quite well with even a strong curl. A copy stand is mandatory, I think. I can't remember whether it can be used with a BEOON, but I think that's a bit doubtful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hirohhhh Posted January 23, 2022 Share #9 Posted January 23, 2022 I purchased various items from Negative Supply and it’s an excellent quality. Can it be cheaper, yes, but IMHO, these things lasts forever and few hundred bucks won’t make a difference on a long term. If you don’t need or want top notch quality and scan films once in a while, there are cheaper options mentioned above. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madNbad Posted January 23, 2022 Share #10 Posted January 23, 2022 Our house is small with no place for a traditional darkroom, including the one bathroom that has a skylight, so I have tried various methods of scanning. The Plustek 7600i was a fine scanner. It gave good results and I even learned to live with Silverfast but to scan a roll of film would take better part of an afternoon. I looked at the Epson bed scanners but they took up too much of the limited space I had available. Then I tried camera scanning. I started with my spouses Sony A6000, an adapted Voigtlander 50 2.0 Collapsable Heilar, a cheap light pad and some holders from the Plustek. Next was a beater A5100 with a 55 2.8 Micro-Nikkor AiS, Lomography DigitLIZA, a Alzo copy stand and a better light pad. This worked pretty well until I found a brand new Sony A7II for a good price. Next up was the addition of a Skier Copybox. This is a combination light source and negative holder in s nicely made bamboo box. The 135 holder was reversible for mounted slides and the medium format was adjustable for 6x4.5 to 6x9. It worked well as was giving me mostly good results, then I discovered the Alzo copy stand was not holding the camera parallel to the base. Made some changes by then decided to move up to the Negative Supply Pro Riser II. It holds the camera securely and is easy to adjust. All was good up to the point where the light source in the Skier would cut out at various times. Gave away the Skier Copy Box, bought the Negative Supply Carrier MK I adding the 5x7 Lightsource Pro 95 CRI. The last change was to move from the manual focus Micro-Nikkor to the Sony FE90 2.8 Macro. It took a while but I can scan a roll in minutes and the camera is the only piece that would ever need an upgrade. Welcome, dear visitor!

LocalHero1953 Posted January 31, 2022 Share #12 Posted January 31, 2022 Negative Supply Co have a good reputation, but that includes high prices.
