With the Manual Advancer you get a host of new features all set in a sturdy all-steel construction:

• Speed: Scan a roll of 35mm film as quick as in two minutes
• Stability: Sturdy rubber feet and a heavy steel construction to keep everything in place
• Leveling: More than 10mm fine threaded adjustment on the feet
• Evenly lit scans: The film is lifted approximately 5cm off the light source to diffuse imperfections on the light
• Multi-format support: With rollers set up to be adjustable for almost any roll film formats ever made
• Access to accessories like the Dust Brush

Additional accessories are necessary to produce a final image, including a digital camera, a close-focusing lens and a light source.

Overview of different Manual Advancer versions

v1.0

• The knob was fastened from the end with a Phillips head screw (many units will have been upgraded to v2 knobs that are fastened from the side)

• Shipped with red softer rollers
• The knob was the new v2 type, with a fastening on the side using a set/grub screw
