8x10 Light Source Pro MK2
MPN: TBA
The Negative Supply 8×10 Light Source Pro MK2 is the next in our second generation of light sources and directly replaces our 8×10 Light Source Pro.
Designed for film up to 8×10, the 8×10 Light Source Pro MK2 is created for those who demand a solid, reliable, and ultra bright light source with a high degree of color accuracy without compromise. This light delivers. Unlike our other light sources, this will utilize direct diffusion for the most even spread of light possible allowing for 8×10 film sheets to be captured in their entirety including the rebate. The CRI value is approximately 98 CRI.
This product is available for a limited pre-order. We anticipate that orders will be fulfilled within 90 days but no exact date is ready yet. This product carries our 2-year warranty but is considered special order so is non-refundable or cancellable once your order has been placed.
The 8x10 Light Source Pro MK2 is the direct replacement to our long discontinued 8x10 Light Source Pro. With a more compact design while remaining dedicated to users who are scanning up to 8x10 film, this light is designed with the same build quality you’ve come to expect from our “Pro” line of tools. Improvements include a more rugged metal construction, dedicated on/off switch as opposed to the knob on the previous version, slimmer design, direct diffusion and adjustable leveling feet.

Recently there has been a lot of discussion about how CRI and TCLI should be used to compare light sources for film scanning purposes. We’ll break it down for you!
CRI is a metric used to tell us how a light source renders color based on human perception. What this does not tell us is how this light will render on film or in our case, a digital camera. The TCLI value will give us a more complete view of color accuracy and more directly relates to film scanning.
CRI is often the metric given when comparing light sources in our industry, though TCLI is perhaps more critical.
The TLCI value is averaged from the 24 colors from the MacBeth Color Checker Chart with the maximum value of 100 being the best. Light sources that score a 90 or higher are often seen as high quality light sources that will cut down on post production time. This light source will have a CRI value of approximately 98 CRI.
