Q&A
What is the difference between a film and this film digitizer?
1) Film is quick and easier to use, however, it only creates JPEG output and the scan quality is not high.
2) This film digitizer needs you to use along with DSLR/Mirrorless + select macro lenses, it provides RAW output which means you will get ultra-high resolution files from your 35mm film. Beside this, both the DSLR and Mirrorless cameras have larger sensor and this produces every pixel detail.
3) So, if you are looking for quick and easy to save your film, you may choose a film, but if you want art quality and amazing clarity and resolution, this film converter will be the best way to digitize your 35mm film.
4) Whether using DSLR or film you'll need post-processing software such as Lightroom/Photoshop to get the most from each image.
