What we solved?
The biggest pain point with camera scanning is holding the negative flat. Unfortunately, existing solutions rely on strip holders that are incredibly slow to set up and use.
While varying concepts for digital camera film scanning exist today, MK1 is unique in that it scans full length, uncut rolls of 35mm film. Providing a much faster means of operation, having the ability to scan an uncut roll can allow an operator to scan an entire 36 exposure roll in 5 minutes or less. Alternatively, you can scan strips of 35mm film. Film Carrier MK1 can scan 35mm full and half frame film in strips or full rolls.
Features
Extremely Flat
Using a unique channel technology, each frame is forced flat using the guide path. This ensures there is near zero distortion for sharp images across the frame, perfect for using lenses that are sharpest at larger apertures or MF camera sensors.
Greater Control
Because of advancements in CMOS sensor technology, camera scanning now gives greater editing control for positive films like Kodak Ektachrome. Additionally, multiple exposures can be stacked if needed for greater dynamic range.
Faster Workflows
Unlike traditional flatbed scanning or scanning with strip holders, the MK1 quickly scans entire rolls without spending time having to carefully align delicate negatives.
Safer For The Emulsion
Because of the unique channel design, no part of the film emulsion comes into contact with MK1. Unlike other roller mechanisms that touch your image area, this only touches the outermost edges along the sprocket holes.
