Film scanner 35mm4/10/2023 So, for the past 3 weeks or so, I’ve been getting to grips with the Mongoose at its new home by my front door. I might not care about either when taking photographs but those two terms ring my bell for scanning. Still, the Nikon is getting old (it’s already old enough to drink alcohol in most of the world) and digital camera technology is quite frankly, alarmingly good, both in terms of speed and resolution. I don’t want to be sat there scanning film, so much so that I’ve been known to develop my film and then have it sent out for scanning to three trusted labs. I’ve stuck to using a dedicated 35mm film scanner (Nikon Coolscan 4000ED), which I modified to take scan full-length rolls of film. The manual digitisation workflow is something that has a limited appeal for me, although I apprecaite many, many people out there love it. I’ll say very clearly up front that I have extremely limited experience digitising film with anything other than scanners – I don’t even own a suitable camera for the task. Here’s what I cover in full: Confession: I’m a “camera scanning” noob This article covers my experiences with the CAMERADACTYL Mongoose so far and complements what you’ll have already seen from Hamish Gill on the subject. I’ve had the pleasure of featuring more than a few over the years: I’ve had the pleasure of being able to call Ethan friend for several years now and while the relationship is uncomfortably close to Bugs Bunny and Gossamer, I gladly accept his (virtual) bearhugs…and access to things he’s planning, working on or actively producing. Something I should say that is both imminently upgradeable and expandable. “Imminently” turned out to be about two months later and at the time of writing, there’s a little under 2 days left for you to support it there.Īs you may have guessed from the title, the project - to create a device that can scan a full roll of 35mm film - is called the CAMERADACTYL Mongoose (because it eats snakes of film, get it?) It’s designed to speed up the process of 35mm film digitisation by adding a clever automated film advance system to the mix.
