The Negative Supply Pro Film Carrier 35 is a professional tool capable of scanning all 35mm film formats including half frame, full frame (standard 35mm), and panoramic sizes in a single capture while maximizing film flatness. Featuring smooth-running bearings, solid CNC machined construction and a suite of thoughtful and modular accessories, the Pro Film Carrier 35 is the ultimate tool for 35mm film scanning. 

The Pro Film Carrier 35 represents the next generation of 35mm film carriers for film scanning with a digital camera and is the successor of the Film Carrier 35 MK1. For the further development of the 35mm Film Carrier, Negative Supply started with the Film Carrier MK1 and sought to improve it based upon feedback from customers and many years of in-house use. The Pro Film Carrier 35 has gone through the most extensive R&D process in Negative Supply history with ideation beginning in 2020. This led to a number of new features and improvements. A common request was an adjustable tensioner in the scanning cassette so that your film doesn’t “drift” when you’re advancing film through the carrier. This is preset during product evaluation during the assembly process. This makes auto adjustments in post processing much faster and provides pro-level consistency frame to frame. Another feature request was the support for panoramic and half frame formats. The Pro Film Carrier 35 now supports half frame and panoramic 35mm formats (alongside the standard 35mm format in an all in one device with no compromises.

Just like its predecessor, this Film Carrier allows you to speed up the capturing process of your camera scanning workflow and delivers the best digital copies of your 35mm film memories. After placing the carrier over a separately purchased light source, this device lets you precisely center each frame on a roll of 35mm film, so you can photograph it with a digital camera, making this unit a quick and easy way to scan rolls of film. Bearings provide smooth and even pressure while the tensioners hold the guide wheels securely in place and prevent damaging delicate film stocks. The most important part of the unit is the high-quality stainless steel drive mechanism that lets you capture each frame quickly and efficiently. All the while keeping your film flat to ensure optimal sharpness.  

It allows you to scan full uncut rolls of 35mm film or cut strips as short as 5 frames in no time. Full rolles can be scanned under 2 minutes.

Next to a digital camera and the Pro Film Carrier 35, you'll also need a tripod or copy stand to perfectly position the camera above the film negative. Also a light source is needed to illuminate your film negatives to capture every detail of your photographs. For this you can use a tablet, one of the Slimlite light boxes from Kaiser and for the best results a high-quality light source with a high CRI. Like the rest of the Pro tools, the Pro Film Carrier 35 is designed to work seamlessly with tools such as the Pro Riser and Pro Mount MK2 with the correct adapter.

Every Pro Film Carrier 35 ships with a reference guide and a scannable QR code with quick links to getting started videos and tips and tricks. Of course you can always contact us should you need assistance!

To sum up, these are the most important features of the Pro Film Carrier 35:

• Scans 35mm half frame up to panoramic frames in a single capture with included custom masks for each format

• Modular design with replaceable internal cassette for future updates and accessories

• Solid machined aluminum frame for durability and professional use

• Compatible with the Pro Mount MK2 with an updated adapter plate that will retain the mounting point for the anti-static dust removal brush

• Compatible with our 4x5 Light Source Basic with custom adapter plate similar to the Basic Film Carrier 35 Stabilizing Mask

• Tighter, flatter and smoother film advancement with an updated transport mechanism utilizing more efficient rollers and a refined smooth-running bearing

• Preset film gate to accommodate for film drift from frame to frame, ensuring consistent lines and framing across a roll of 35mm film

Pro Mount MK2 + 35mm Adapter Plate

The Negative Supply Pro Mount MK2 is designed to partner seamlessly with the Pro Film Carrier 35 or any other NS Film Carrier. The Pro Mount MK2 offers added stability, precision, and dust removal capabilities to the scanning system.

Keeping the original dimensions for platform and insert compatibility, the new Pro Mount MK2 combines an extremely strong anodized aluminum plate reinforced by fiber composite polymer hardware. 

Stability

The 35mm and 120 Film Carrier safely and easily attaches to the Pro Mount MK2, and the Mount offers added weight and widens the footprint of the unit, adding stability to the scanning process. While the Film Carriers are still stable without the Pro Mount, this ensures even greater stability and control.

Precision

The Pro Mount MK2 is a precisely designed device featuring leveling feet to guarantee a level plane for scanning. The bottoms of the leveling feet also feature small anti-slip feet for added stability and precision.

Dust removal

The most exciting feature on the Pro Mount MK2 saves you a tremendous amount of time and frustration in post production. Every Pro Mount MK1 includes an anti-static brush that securely attaches to the Mount, coming in line with the film gate of the Film Carrier. Most dust and unwanted debris will be automatically removed from your film before scanning, saving you time and energy. Includes 35mm brush.
