Product Details

“Valoi” is a Finnish word meaning light and creation — a nod to the creativity of analog photography. VALOI's Scandinavian roots are visible in the minimalism and functionality of their designs. VALOI 360 is a film holder system that provides an easy and effective way to digitize your film using a digital camera. With the right setup, the VALOI 360 system can deliver faster and higher quality scans than traditional flatbed scanners. 

The VALOI 360 Basic Bundle for camera scanning contains all the basics you need to get started scanning with the VALOI 360 system. 

 

Includes: 

  • VALOI 360 Advancer
  • VALOI 360 35mm Film Holder 
  • VALOI 360 120 Film Holder

Advancer 


The heart of the modular, expandable VALOI 360 ecosystem, the Advancer's rubber rollers and knurled film advance knobs allow users to quickly and precisely transport the film through  the VALOI 35mm and 120 film holders rather than pulling the film through manually with one's hands, for more efficient digital camera scanning.  While best used with uncut rolls of film, it can also be used with strips down to 3 frames long. The Advancer also raises the film off of the light source for more even illumination. Adjustable leveling feet ensure that your film is held completely level with your camera for sharp scans. 

35mm Film Holder

The VALOI 360 film holders are the foundation of the 360 system. The double S-curved track keeps the film exceptionally flat for the highest quality scans. The 35mm Film Holder is optimized for full, uncut rolls of standard 35mm film with a frame size of 24x36mm (no sprockets are shown). Cut strips can be used, but flatness may vary. 

 


120 Film Holder

Like the 35mm Film Holder, the 120 version features a double S-curve that keeps the film flat for high quality scans. It can accomodate frames up to 6x9 in size for single capture scanning. Film Format Masks for 6x4.5, 6x6, and 6x7 are available separately for cutting down on excess spill light. 

 


Compatible accessories:
Duster, Film Format Masks, Light Adapter

 

Camera Scanning Considerations:

 

Camera Body

Just about any semi-modern, interchangeable-lens digital camera will work great for camera scanning. There are many mirrorless or DSLR options to choose from with large lens catalogs, tethered capture capability, and excellent image quality. Some high end cameras can even use pixel stitching to deliver extremely high levels of resolution.

 

Macro Lens

For camera scanning, the one real requirement is that your lens focuses close enough to capture the entire frame. For full frame cameras and capturing 35mm film, the term “1:1” designates a lens that will reproduce the 35mm frame exactly onto the full frame digital sensor. With crop-sensor bodies, 1:1 lenses focus even closer. Outside of reproduction factor (1:1), also look out for lenses that are sharp, have good color reproduction, limit internal reflections (modern coatings), and have very little vignetting. Finally, it’s generally best to use your macro lens stopped down 2-3 stops from wide open, as this gives a good combination of depth of field and sharpness.


Software for Negative Conversion

There are several plugins and standalone programs for converting digitally captured negatives into positive images. Most of the options presented here allow you to download a demo version to try before you buy and determine which one best suits your workflow.
