SmartPhone Film Scanner

Samy's Camera — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 07:00:00 GMT

"Scan all your 35mm film photos easily using your smartphone" This is what Lomography promises. The new the Lomography SmartPhone Film Scanner can do scanning for you at your ease.

Once the scanner is assembled, all you have to do is to switch on the scanner and the camera on your phone, insert the film into the film slit, and voila - as you advance the film, each exposure will appear on your phone screen ready to be photographed.

The scanner consists of a base, three stackers and a top part. The base contains a light panel, two AA batteries, a film slit and a wheel to advance the film. The top part consists of a clamp with which to fasten your phone and an opening where the camera lens goes. The stackers go between the base and the top part; you want to use just enough stackers that the distance between the camera and the film is as small as possible while leaving the camera able to focus. Using two stackers is recommended for iPhones, and works very well with my HTC as well.

Flextight X1 Scanner

Samy's Camera — Sat, 01 Jan 2011 08:00:00 GMT

The Hasselblad Flextight X1 Scanner is designed to serve most photographers' needs. Its quality is unsurpassed, it is fast, and it can handle of most types of originals. And, as with any other scanner in this family, it is easy to use. Flextight scanners are all built to the same formula. A vertical optical system allows the CCD to face downwards creating a glass-free optical path between the original and the lens. The patented virtual drum solution produces optimal focusing across the whole of the original, and the flexible holder guarantees easy mounting combined with safe and cautious handling of your originals.

Having a device that has the quality to reproduce all the subtle details embedded in your negatives and transparencies that gives you full control over the crucial interpretation of your work is what makes owning a Hasselblad scanner attractive. Your valuable originals are never out of your custody and you are the one who decides when to do what and how. Furthermore, the 3F workflow can produce a throughput that has to be seen to be believed.

FEATURES:

Up to 6300 dpi Resolution - A resolution of 6300 dpi is more than you need in most cases, and although you can find scanners with a higher optical resolution, you will not find better clarity and detail rendition when scanning photographic film in any other scanner. This optimum image quality is due to the electronic image handling of the sensor, the mechanical precision of the device, the quality of the sensor filters, and the resolving power of the Rodenstock lens.
Virtual Drum and Vertical Optical System - A vertical optical system allows the CCD to face downwards, creating a glass-free optical path between the original and the lens. The patented virtual drum solution produces optimal focusing across the entire original, and the flexible holder guarantees easy mounting and safe and secure handling of your originals.
Up To 60 MB per Minute Scan Speed - The Flextight X1 is an unusually efficient scanner that will carry out most tasks quickly and easily. The easy-to-mount FlexHolder system produces a very high throughput without generating excessive heat, as the electronics run at a low frequency.
Batch Scanning Capabilities - With the FlexHolder system you either mount several originals in one holder or a film strip of 4 or 6 images. In that way you can utilize the advanced batch scanning capabilities scanning up to 6 images in one pass. Alternatively, you can utilize the unique 3F scanning feature.
The 3F File and Workflow and 3F Auto Scan Button - If you mount a film strip and press the 3F auto scan button the scanner will automatically detect and crop each image and save it with different names. The images are scanned in a specified resolution at 16 bit per color. In this way the full range of the original is extracted from the scan. The 3F file is never altered but will act as a "preview scan" when you open it later, and you can re-do all operations and change whatever parameters you wish. This is exactly like re-scanning but without the need for the film original to be present.

Flextight X5 Scanner

Samy's Camera — Sat, 01 Jan 2011 08:00:00 GMT

The Hasselblad Flextight X5 Scanner is the top model in the Flextight scanner series and features the best of all worlds. Ease of use, incomparable quality, and unique batch-scanning capabilities all packed in a classic and characteristic design. Flextight scanners are all built to the same formula. A vertical optical system allows the CCD to face downwards, creating a glass-free optical path between the original and the lens. The patented virtual drum solution produces optimal focusing across the whole of the original, and the flexible holder guarantees easy mounting combined with safe and cautious handling of your originals.

The Flextight X5 has two auto feed options available, the Batch Feeder for mixed originals (up to 60 frames) and the Slide Feeder for scanning mounted slides (up to 50 slides). Using these features together with the 3F workflow can produce a throughput that has to be seen to be believed.

Having a device that has the quality to reproduce all the subtle details embedded in your negatives and transparencies, and gives you full control over the crucial interpretation of your work is what makes a Hasselblad scanner attractive. Your valuable originals are never out of your custody, and you are the one who decides when to do what and how.

FEATURES:

Up to 8000 dpi Resolution - With its high-end optics and 3 line x 8000 pixel Kodak Image Sensor, the Flextight X5 produces images of superb quality and detail. Even though you can find scanners with larger sensors, you will not find better clarity and detail rendition when scanning photographic film. This is due to the electronic image handling of the sensor, the mechanical precision of the device, the quality of the filters, and the resolving power of the Rodenstock lens.
Virtual Drum and Vertical Optical System - A vertical optical system allows the CCD to face downwards, creating a glass-free optical path between the original and the lens. The patented virtual drum solution produces optimal focusing across the entire original, and the flexible holder guarantees easy mounting and safe, secure handling of your originals.
Up to 300 MB per Minute Scan Speed Made Possible with Active Cooling - Running the electronics at this speed demands a great deal from the internal design of the scanner, and is also a challenge in terms of heat generation. Therefore, the Flextight X5 scanners are equipped with a Peltier cooling device on the CCD itself. In this way heat is controlled, which avoids compromising the quality of the scans.
Dust Removal Features - The scanner is equipped with a light condenser which eliminates the effect of small dust particles, which are normally invisible unless you zoom 100% into your image. They can be the most annoying and time-consuming part of scanning, but with this unit they are removed without losing speed or quality. Additionally, you can add the FlexTouch dust removal feature, which will remove dust and small scratches from your scans without having any impact on the sharpness at all.
Batch and Slide Feeder Capabilities - By attaching the optional Batch Feeder, it is now possible to set up an automatic scanning workflow. The Batch Feeder allows up to 60 originals to be scanned, unattended. The Batch Feeder can handle most kinds of transparencies, and they are automatically recognized and scanned according to pre-defined specifications. The Slide Feeder for 35mm mounted slides holds up to 50 slides, which can be scanned in one batch. The files produced can either be final TIFF files cropped and corrected, or saved as raw 3F files which can be opened and corrected just if they were initial scans.
The 3F File and Workflow - When selecting the 3F file format as the automatic scan mode, the images are scanned at a specified resolution of 16 bits per color. In this way the full range of the original is extracted from the scan. The 3F file is never altered but will act as a "preview scan" when you open it later, allowing you to re-do all operations and change whatever parameters you wish. This is exactly like re-scanning but without the need for the film original. Furthermore, every time you save a file from the 3F format the history of your decisions is embedded inside the 3F file, which will enable you to repeat whatever you have been doing whenever you choose.
