Filmomat 135-Auto Carrier
The Filmomat 135-Auto Carrier is a fully automated camera scanning system for 35mm film, designed for speed, consistency and professional-level results. Capable of advancing film at up to three frames per second, it can digitise a full roll of 35mm in around twelve seconds, with the camera triggered automatically for each exposure. A precision BOBACH pressure mask ensures perfectly flat film, while a high-quality LED light source delivers even, colour-accurate illumination across every frame. Used alongside Filmomat SmartConvert software, it offers a workflow that closely mirrors a professional lab scanner.
Why We Like It
This is one of the most refined camera scanning systems we have seen for 35mm film. The combination of speed, accurate frame detection and excellent film flatness makes it ideal for high-volume scanning without compromising quality. It is particularly well suited to schools, colleges and serious home users who want repeatable, reliable results. We also appreciate the flexibility of the different operating modes, which means it copes well with everything from well-exposed colour negatives to tricky slide film or dense, underexposed frames.

Notes on use: A macro lens capable of 1:1 magnification is required when scanning 35mm with a full-frame camera, ideally around 100mm to minimise distortion. The Autocarrier connects to your camera using a 3.5mm jack trigger cable, which is not included and must be matched to your camera model. The fixed LED light source is optimised for shooting at a medium aperture and low ISO to maximise sharpness and minimise noise. Full border scans including sprocket holes are not supported.
SmartConvert software, camera, lens and camera stand are not included.
