Does not include power-brick for wall charging: We recommend using at least a 15W charger to enable longer scanning sessions.
Compatibility
Your results may vary based on your additional equipment, the film being digitized and skill of the operator. It is important to follow instructions provided by VALOI and to keep in mind inherent limitations of film material, reproduction techniques and your own equipment.
Suitable for scanning 35mm film out of the box. The standard holder can be replaced with a variant showing the sprockets of the film as well as smaller film sizes like APS, 110, 126 film and Minox. There is also a Slide Holder for scanning 50mmx50mm mounted slides.
Most interchangeable-lens digital cameras make excellent scanning cameras. You will need a macro lens capable of focusing to 1:1 magnification to scan 35mm film. Most of those lenses available will be compatible.
Unsure what lens to get? Find a table of recommended lenses for your system on the Lens compatibility page or you can find lenses in stock here at Kamerastore.
We do not recommend using lenses longer than the following focal lengths:
- Full frame: Shorter than 55mm, Longer than 105mm
- APS-C: Shorter than 40mm - Longer than 70mm
- M4/3: Shorter than 40mm - Longer than 60mm
Longer focal lenses can work, but we cannot guarantee there are enough included tubes to use the combination. Shorter focal length lenses can cause vignetting.
If you are unsure, or want to test yourself, follow the guide on the Lens compatibility page and check that the distance you found is shorter than 230mm.
We recommend using thin cotton gloves while scanning to prevent damage to the film.
Materials
The easy35 v1 is a premium product. It is constructed from quality materials because scanning demands precision, and inferior materials do not yield a precision device.The housing is crafted from Nylon 12, an exceptionally robust plastic that is both rigid and incredibly durable. This material is also ideal for additive manufacturing. It is produced using an additive manufacturing technique known as MJF, enabling the creation of complex shapes. This results in a device that's stronger, lighter, and more compact.The tubes, including the part that facilitates tube rotation for rotational adjustment, are made from aluminum and are anodized with a super-matte finish. While this makes the tube somewhat heavy, it ensures that the tube is extremely rigid. The precise threading not only enhances the user experience but also guarantees that the device aligns perfectly with the sensor. Additionally, the super-matte finish ensures no reflections bounce back onto the film.Inside, there's a secondary diffuser crafted from a Plexiglas diffuser acrylic specifically designed for LED diffusion. This ensures no color shift and promises consistency, with a guarantee against yellowing for 30 years.
