Negative Supply Basic 4x5 Sheet Film Scanning Kit
The Negative Supply Basic 4x5 Sheet Film Scanning Kit is a simple, cost-effective way to scan 4x5 sheet film using a digital camera, without the need for more complex mounting systems. Designed to deliver excellent flatness and full-frame coverage, this kit uses micro-etched acrylic to hold your negatives securely while allowing you to capture the full image area, including borders, with sharp, consistent results.
System Compatibility Notes
This kit is designed to be used with a Negative Supply light source and does not include one. It is compatible with the 4x5 Light Source Basic MK2, 4x5 Light Source Basic, and 4x5 Light Source Pro, and includes the required adapter to mount directly onto these units. It can be used as a more affordable alternative to the Pro Mount MK2 for 4x5 scanning. For best results, pairing it with a stable camera scanning setup and a suitable macro lens is recommended.
Why We Like It
Scanning 4x5 film has traditionally been slow or expensive, but this kit makes it much more accessible without sacrificing quality. The micro-etched acrylic does a very good job of keeping film flat, which is critical when working with large format negatives. It is also more versatile than it first appears, as you can use it to scan short strips of 35mm or 120 film by creating a simple mask, making it a handy tool for those awkward frames that do not fit standard carriers. For anyone already using a Negative Supply light source, this is an easy and practical way to expand into 4x5 scanning.
