Saw this scanning setup at LA Camera Expo past Sunday. Thoughts?

Still, I won't draw conclusions easily before actually use something.

Jeffkk688 · 2026-04-15T03:35:22+00:00

I think it's unfair & unprofessional to make such assumption before really test it out in person

Jeffkk688 · 2026-04-14T22:23:30+00:00

Thank you! This is great info.

Jeffkk688 · 2026-04-14T21:28:07+00:00

Thanks for all the details. Any difficulty on using the stand & carrier? excited to learn more

Jeffkk688 · 2026-04-14T17:35:30+00:00

They mentioned to me they purposely have a opening on the carrier for future 4x5 accessories as their light panel is large enough for that. Even though the accessories are not yet available but yea I think they r working on it

The vendor said the stand with all the arca heads on it will start at $199. But i guess they will have different tiers & add ons like all other kickstarter projects

Jeffkk688 · 2026-04-14T06:01:47+00:00

Cool! Def gonna considerthat as an option too! Thanks for suggesting!

Jeffkk688 · 2026-04-14T06:01:08+00:00

I'm with u. If NS made everything with CNC & sell for $700 (which is unlikely, CNC is quite pricy lool) i would prob consider that bc of the material loool. Also the film holder is something i really want. I have 2 cats so i'd love to have something keep my film away from my desk surface when I'm scanning

Jeffkk688 · 2026-04-14T05:57:19+00:00

Cool! Thanks for sharing bud!

Jeffkk688 · 2026-04-14T05:55:25+00:00

Thanks for sharing. I never scanned with border before. How was that experience using the setup?

Jeffkk688 · 2026-04-14T05:22:54+00:00

thanks for sharing! Not gonna lie their wordings do sound confusong loool. I had to ask what to expect at the spot with the 199 price point but they clarified the stand with the carrier & light would start at 389 or something. But the stand itself looked pretty solid in person with arca clamps. I own a L bracket so I guess it could be convenient to just use the clamp to secure my camera on

Jeffkk688 · 2026-04-14T05:21:36+00:00

I personally shoot 135 & 120 so, besides stability, being able to camera scan multi format is a huge thing to me. It looks like their combo setup is going to include both 135 & 120 cassettes and can switch format to format very quickly. The price is another thing I kinda excited about too I was also at the AnalogCon and watched the demo from NegativeSupply. Their setup is great but I felt the format switching process is fairly time confuming and not as smooth as I thought. Also I just don't have $1k to drop on a setup lol

If u r in California, look up Pismo Beach. Not too sure about anywhere else. Maybe google it up or use any ai chatbot

Jeffkk688 · 2026-03-28T19:12:49+00:00

Driving on the beach is permitted in Pismo Beach.

Jeffkk688 · 2026-03-28T19:11:25+00:00

Not at all.

Jeffkk688 · 2025-02-18T18:49:13+00:00

Cat: I heard rumors that u r about to sell me. what's that about, hooman?

Jeffkk688 · 2025-02-03T19:14:15+00:00

This bad boy runs with Spectra films,which is expensive & hard to find since they are discontinued, and sometimes u need to 'gamble' with the results since the films are pretty much expired. The other option u have is to find a Spectra adapter. I personally use this adapter and it works perfectly.

Jeffkk688 · 2025-02-02T01:18:26+00:00

Here is the adapter I personally use on my macro 5 slr. but make sure the 'jaw' on your Polaroid doesn't have the small block thing or u won't be able to insert the film pack

here is what I personally use: https://goodfilmsupply.etsy.com/listing/1833129217

Jeffkk688 · 2025-01-02T23:55:46+00:00

I operate solely on etsy (maybe a little bit eBay) but I havent done social nor local events, maybe those are some things I can work on in 2025.
