Digitize 35mm Negative Film and Slides    Integrated USB-Powered LED Light Source    Holds 35mm Film Strips & Mounted Slides    Works With Your Digital Camera    Use Canon, Nikon, or Sony Macro Lenses    USB Micro-B Cable with Dimming Control    Includes Six Lens Adapters

Convert old 35mm film strips and slides to digital copies using your existing digital camera and macro lens. The Vello NDS-35 works with most Nikon, Canon, and Sony cameras along with select macro lenses. Instead of buying a whole scanner, just use your full-frame camera and capture a 1:1 digital reproduction that lasts forever.

A bright and dimmable LED light source provides the illumination the camera needs to capture all the details of the 35mm film being photographed. The light also acts as a stand-alone negative viewer with a kickstand so it can be set up on a flat surface, making it easy to scrutinize each slide. The cool-running LED light operates with any 5W USB power supply, available separately. A diffusion panel is also included if using an alternate light source is desired.

The power control cable offers tactile buttons that make it easy to adjust the light's brightness, so you don't have to take your eye off the camera while changing settings.

A film strip carrier secures 35mm film strips up to six frames long, and a slide carrier holds two mounted slides at a time, making it easy to move from one slide to the next without damaging the film. Quickly shoot and move to the next picture in one session.

Six lens adapters make it easy to mount the digitizer onto a macro lens. Choose between 46, 49, 52, 55, 58, 62, and 67mm lens adapters to match a variety of lenses for macro shooting.

Getting film negatives in focus is the priority when shooting a digital copy. Use a combination of the included extensions to lengthen or shorten the focus distance, so every image is sharp.

A pair of connectors allow the LED light panel to easily attach to the film strip holder, holding it at the perfect distance for even illumination. The modular set can then be disassembled for compact storage.

Q: 4. How are slides held in place? In the photo it appears that there are spring loaded covers, one per slide but I can't really tell.

A: There is a spring loaded slot that retains two opposing edges of each slide. You gently push one edge of the slide into the spring loaded slot from the opposing edge, then push down on the free edge while allowing the spring to push the free edge of the slide under two retaining clips. You remove the slide from the holder by re-compressing the spring from the edge under the retaining clips then pulling that edge away from the mount It is quite easy to do and very secure. It works for cardboard mounts and most plastic mounts. Some mounts with cover glass are too thick to slide into the slot.
