Film Camera 35Mm Lightroom

As I was waiting for delivery of my new Canon 35mm Macro lens, I discovered (at B&H) this small device made for a Nikon Macro lens called the ES-1 Slide Copier. I have over 1500 35mm color slides that are more than 18 years old. I was seeking a way to digitize these color slides and store them in the Lightroom image Library on my computer. I tried a Wolverine Film-to-Digitial Converter, but was unhappy with the results. The color output was not very good, and the output images were JPEG files. I contemplated purchasing an image scanner, but good, high quality ones were rather expensive and I would have no use for it after the slide conversion project was completed. Paying a professional slide digitizing service would have been VERY expensive. Using my new Canon 35mm Macro lens and a 49mm to 52mm step-up ring with the Nikon ES-1 and a (new) small portable LED light was the perfect solution for slightly over $100. (not counting the cost of the Canon lens and camera.) I am using a small Canon camera (SL1) mounted on a mini-tripod with the ES-1 attached to the macro lens. The camera is pre-focused using back-button focusing (same for all slides). The ES-1 is taped to the 35rmm lens hood so there is no slide rotation, and it is quick and easy to make digital images of the slides. The RAW files are then transferred to Lightroom on my computer using the SD card from my camera, and any color modifications can be done easily as a batch process in Lightroom. Each digitized image has a small black border on all sides, but this is easy to remove by cropping in Lightroom.

Great battery and I'am using it with an Arriflex 35BL2 35mm film camera.

I use this with my mirrorless camera and the Essential Film Holder. I scan tons of 35mm film and this light works perfectly.

I use this with a Sony camera to scan 35mm film. It's flawless. I combine with the Essential Film Holder and it works very well.

This is the goat when it comes to 35mm film camera. I 'm glad Leica is still making it. Love it!

Plenty of room for a 35mm camera, 2 lenses, and extra film/batteries/whatever else!

Classic 35mm film

Just as described, great film for my Canon AE-1 program 35mm camera

For my Leicaflex SL 35mm film camera light meter, pop right in and it's work.

Needed a quality, low-cost film to use in vintage 35mm camera. Can’t wait to see the results!
