I recently had the chance to test out Valoi’s new product, the easy35, and it quickly has become my favourite way to scan 35mm film at home. I’ve been using their advancer setup for the past year, and while I love (and need) the versatility that it brings, the easy35 is so simple to use and gives you the same results. In this video, I’m doing an overview of the easy35, and also showing you the scanning process, as well as how I convert my film after it’s digitised. We’ll also look at some images comparing the easy35 and camera scanning to other available methods.

Kyle is an exceptional no-nonsense thoughtful presenter. He never wastes our time. He never hypes. He always presents evidence in a compelling and timely manner. Kyle thank you for this and for all of your videos. They are appreciated.
Thanks, Jefferey! I appreciate that.
Very useful video you shared here, pal! I have been seeking a not complicated way to scan my 135 mm and also my 120 mm film for quite a long now. I have had photography since 1978, you you can imagine how the mass of film stips I have in my archives. Thank you so much!!!!! 😃
I saw this online the other day and was considering it but was holding out to find a good review on it and, well, here we are! Thank you!
I got the easy35 on the pre-sale. It's now fitted to a Fujifilm X-E4 with an old Micro Nikkor 55/2.8 plus extension ring. I camscan before cutting (process my own C41).
I don't use Lightroom but Grain2Pixel works like a charm, is free and does batches. Allows quite a lot of post conversion actions and even creates a virtual contact print.
TIP: Leave a blank frame at the start and use it for white balance.
Man I love your lighting setup. So super crisp and clean.
Awesome! I always send people to your channel when they want to get into film scanning, and I love that you compare all the options out there! As an owner of the Plustek 8200i (and very selective of what frames I scan), I can appreciate this little setup! I could totally see putting my old Samsung NX3000 to use with this setup (as it's just collecting dust) if I wanted to quickly chew thru a bunch of film!
Cheers, Patrick!
This is exactly the solution I'm looking for. Thanks for another great review.
Funny I just ordered mine earlier so this is very timely! Have boxes of my Grandfather's Kodachrome slides that have been meaning to digitize, ordered the slide holder so looking forward to getting started. Thank you Kyle!
The NLP plugin truly unlocked camera scanning, and therefore unlocked me being able to afford shooting lots of color film. Also, I’m still in love with the desert Southwest and the images it serves up. Your photos here are all old friends😎❤
NLP, and the other options on the market nowadays have really made conversion much easier!
Very timely! We sadly lost dad on boxing day and there's a stack of photos from his OM1 35mm days to sort through, archive and display.
So sorry for your loss.
Thanks@@TheOstorlab, that's kind. I've lots I'm grateful to him for, not least photography, but also music, gardening, a general approach of thoroughness etc. I was able to express this to him in recent years and also at the very end, which I'm very aware is a privilege that not all families get. Looking forward to going through his negs and slides, many of which I've not seen for decades! I offered to do this while he was alive, but he wasn't interested - I now of course wish I'd insisted and done this sooner of course! We always think there's more time...
I'm really sorry to hear about your Father, Andrew. Hope you're doing alright. We'll have to catch up soon. If you ever want to borrow the easy35 to scan those with, I'll post it over to you.
@@KyleMcDougall Wow, that's really generous Kyle, yes please! I'll email my address in a moment :)
I use the Nikon ES-2 Film Digitiser system for digitizing my 35mm negs. It does not have its own light source but it's very easy to use. You don't need to parallel the film plain to the sensor plain as you say and you don't even need to keep the whole steady while taking the image. It doesn't do medium format.
Yes!! After Plustek (slow af) and Epson (no sharpness) and also plenty other holders (which needed constant leveling) this solution made my year 2023 and made me scan all of my 135 stuff in just a matter of hours. Can’t recommend it enough!
Hi, have the plustek 8100 but looking to change systems especially since I’m noticing scan lines appearing on my conversions. Curious have you ever experienced that with the plustek?
I love the slide duplicator method, 3D printed my own mechnically geared advancing one for 25GBP with parts off amazon and used a off shelf high CRI light so sub 50USD total cost, and with 61MP sensors pixel shift and exposure stacking with somnthing like a Sony A7RV today its as sane as scanning gets for people without drum scanners as you can rent camaras and optics as needed, but even my 42mp A7RIII fails to resolve modern Ektar 100 or ADOX CMS 20 II, getting that true 1:1 or 2:1 archival scan is the real hard part, next to getting a scanner frame that cuts non of the exposed frame area off position wise is somthing people forget.
I just hope these guys make a Valoi Easy120 someday. I have the Easy35 and I think this gadget is pure genius.
as someone who hates scanning their own 35mm film, this seems like a really great way to go about it efficiently. My V600 is kind of a nightmare for 35mm.
Yes,.they.really are useless for anything more than a 10x8 print.from 35mm, and that's assuming you can get a.dust free scan!! I don't know how Epson can get away with making their inflated resolution specs. Just because they can? Don't they know they'll be found out?
@@chrisfetto9400you won't get a perfectly clean scan no matter what system you use. Professional scanners just use infrared images to mask out the dust, with everything that does not offer that you won't get around having to quickly clone out dust. If you do black and white infrared won't work anyways. A film to digital workflow will always involve more digital work than just going digital.
try a dedicated film scanner. A used, mint, Minolta Scan Dual IV will set you back $300 (less than the price for one of these overpriced hipster holders) and will give you incredible scans. A DSLR setup will be faster but its output will be of poorer quality (due to the interpolating Bayer/X-trans sensor and demosaicising).
@@chrisfetto9400 What are you carrying on about? My Epson photo scanner scans as good as the specs claim. The one I had before it had higher rez, but was much slower. I've scanned hundreds of negatives and slides...and have always gotten excellent results from Epson scanners. I suspect you just don't know what you're doing.
@@giuseppeg.8461 *laughs in manual correction in photoshop*...Oh what's that? Yes, I used super resolution and now have a 160mp equivalent image...What's that?! Yes I used super res. went down to 1:1 and combined 100 images together, stitched 4 images together and now have every ounce of detail possible out of my medium format images.
Yeah, thought so, keep your outdated scanner, and when it dies? Say bye bye.
I have it since june 2023. It has made (135mm) film scanning finally accessible to me. Using an old 5D II with live view and adapted Nikkor 55 micro lens.
Just bought one using the code! Can't wait to use this and not have to worry about leveling tripods or copy stands!
Cheers, Brad. I'm sure you'll enjoy it!
Thanks for the video!
I use the Nikon ES-2 which does almost exactly the same excepts that you need to bring your own light. Works fantastic! And unlike many people think, you don't need to use it with a Nikon lens or Nikon camera. Any macro lens with 62mm diameter or less can be used if you fit some extension tubes and perhaps step-down rings
Thank you. I just saw that and was wondering. I have a canon with a 50mm lens and wondering if I could make it work with that. Or the basic crappy lens that the camera comes with.
I've been using my easy35 with a Panasonic S5 in the high res mode. Approx 90mp with an electronic shutter on a 2sec timer. Really happy with the results. Got the slide adapter on order.
is 90mp really necessary for 35mm film?
@@Humungojerry not for every image. Snaps I'll just use the 24mp. Important images or ones I want cropping then the higher the better. For my professionally studio work I use a Sony A7RIII and always appreciate the resolution. It's good to know if I want a large print out that's possible with personal work too.
@@edshotsdotcodotukcool. i guess some film has a pretty high resolution
@@Humungojerry I don't mind real grain showing, would rather that than pixelation from a smaller file. I have the S5 for video so an added bonus it does the sensor shift high res.
Dang, just recorded almost the same last week, but you did it so much better😅 think that's going into the bin. Been really enjoying this system. Like you said, not having to have a dedicated space for it has been a lifesaver.Great job on the video!
am I the only one who thinks easy120 would be a great idea? Great job Kyle as usual, thanks a lot for the effort you put in these videos, appreciated it
Yes, easy120 would be an instant purchase for me!
And it can digitize 35mm as well.
Thanks for the info !
I used your code and at was like 250 shipped. Excited to try this on the GFX 50s.
I've already got one of these for the community darkroom I'll be opening in a few weeks ... this makes me beyond excited, but also can serve as a handy instructional aid. Thank you!
Thats awesome!! Highly recommend our 3 part series with instructions for an in depth on the easy35. Found here on our RUclips channel
@@valoico Thank you!
Genius. Thanks for the video
Fantastic! Personally I don't shoot film (yet), but recently found a bunch of old negatives from the 60's in the family stash and was looking for a solution to get them scanned by myself. This will be the way to go!
It's easy to get overwhelmed in the black hole that is the internet when researching products and tools. I appreciate your simple, no-nonsense insight and opinions. Thank you.
Cheers!
Thanks for the demonstration. I've been leaning toward this system to scan my grandfather's collection of film. He was mainly a show horse photographer, but I think he did some weddings as well. We have a huge collection of negatives to sort through!
Great content - thank you.
Great review. Thank you for this; I've placed an order now. :)
Most interesting, thanks.
Hi Kyle. Thanks for the video. I’ve been looking for an alternative to my flatbed scanner to scan my old negatives and slides and after hearing about this, I came across your video and decided to get one today (using your affiliate link).
Cheers, Chris. Enjoy!
I have one and it is great , digitized lots of negs and colour slides
I use the Easy35 to scan my film. I scan at F8 and at base ISO, but I keep my shutter speed consistent throughout my roll. I do this because Negative Lab Pro recommends this for their latest v3 release. I also keep color temperature set to the coolest setting for color negative film, as this is what Valoi recommends.
Have been very happy with my results. Glad you like the Easy35 too!
Also, white balance shouldn't matter if you're converting a raw file.
This is AMAZING!!!!!
Wish they had on for Medium Format
I started scanning my own film quite recently and I build this contraption of books and an ipad for my Nikon 55mm 2.8 macro setup. I was just thinking of what actual setup to buy when I saw your video and instantly ordered one with the code since i mainly use 35mm. Would be a real treat if they made one for medium format.
I also scan with a GF 50R. A good tip is to use electronic shutter mode to preserve the mechanical shutter in the camera and increase its lifetime. Just look out for flickering at faster shutter speeds
I scan film with Sony A7IV with a vintage OM macro lens too, it's a huge savings. I have just a light table for artists, this is enough for me now in terms of quality, but for better experience one day I hope to buy something more serious like this device🙏
I'm hoping for a 120 version either from Valoi or another vendor this year!
Informative and interesting video Kyle.
Like you I have the Valoi Advancer kit but do not have the space to leave my stand permanently erected so it can take longer setting up than scanning one roll of film! I've ordered an Easy 35, thanks for the discount code.
I also support the suggestion that you don't need expensive cameras to scan film. I sold my Nikon mirrorless cameras last year when I went all in rangefinder and realised I didn't have a camera to scan with so I bought a beaten up Nikon D800 (36mpx) from MPB for 250 quid as I did keep the two F mount macro lenses. The results are just as good as with the Z7ii! Fortunately both the 60mm and 105 work with the Easy.
I'll let you all know how it goes...once I blown the dust off my 35mm! Keep up the good work.
Cheers, David! Yeah, the difference in quality between cheap and expensive cameras is pretty minimal (if you have your setup dialled in).
Forgot about the £50+ import tax & vat, ouch! I’m sure it will be available in UK soon, if not already.
I like how valoi gave us the border scanning mask for 135 format, wish they do the same for 120 format soon.
It's just a very different technical challenge that comes with compromises on one or more of the three areas (cost, usability, quality)...
Nice pictures/photos
Cool!
Thanks!
I highly recomment the Flads Test Slides, which where available on Valoi Website too, for perfect focussing setup, bevor running your Sildes through the camera
Link? I can't seem to find anything like that listed.
i hope they will make one for 120, this looks the easiest among all other scanning alternatives
Hey, I like the picture of the Hudson hornet. I remember them well I’m that old. They were good cars.
God, I hope this is it. I have purchased a Minolta dedicated 35mm scanner, an Epson flatbed and then better scanning negative holders, pixl ltr film holder, over the years with just a few scans to show for it. I just ordered the easy35 with the slide holder. Let’s see if I can finally revisit the old memories
Do you have issues with vignetting?
Are you liking it?
Do you like the light source it has? That's one of the downsides I've read about.
@@kristytillman6845I am a complete newbie at this so I may not be the best to judge the quality of the light but it seems fine to me.
I have had mine for a month now. Well worth the money, in my opinion.
Do you have issues with vignetting?
@@laurencewhite4809 I haven't had any issues. Very easy and uncomplicated to use.
Hello! I'm very happy to have found this video! I've been wanting to get back into shooting with film cameras for a while, but I live in a small town, and we don't have the option to scan film on demand. I still need to find an affordable way to develop negatives. Do you have any videos on the developing process as well? Regarding the scanning process, do you recommend using an old camera and vintage lenses because they are cheaper? If I have a modern camera like the Sony A7M3 and a macro lens like the Sigma 105mm, would I be able to scan film on my own? Thanks a lot for your hard work! 🥰
Excellent content, well delivered. Could you tell me what adapter you used to mount the Pentax lens? Cheers!
cool system. someday i hope someone comes up with a Kodak Pakon like system to fully automate the process, just load in the leader and press go and a few min later its done and you just batch convert and even auto dust removal.
The Pakon is very cool. It's just a shame the resolution is so low.
Once they come out with a solution for medium format I‘ll get it
Hey Kyle! Thanks for another great video. I like the Veloi, but in my opinion is too expensive. A year ago I found in Amazon a similar option for a fraction of the Veloi price "JJC Photo Slide and Film Digitizer Converter with 10-Levels Brightness LED Backlight for 35mm Slide and Negatives Copying Scanning to Digital for Select Canon Nikon Sony Macro Lenses" Maybe is not as good as the Veloi, but for me works fine at reasonable price. I hope this info helps somebody. Regards
I have an easy35 since maybe october and have now started to scan my old negatives - and that was when it showed that some choices I've made weren't as good as I thought. My Lightroom license is only for the cloud version (1 TB), and that means I can't use Negative Lab Pro until I upgrade to the "bigger" license including classic + 1 TB, but the current one is still valid for about 9 months. So I will have to wait a bit if I don't wont to waste any money. sigh
But then again I am waiting for Valoi to make slide scanning available for the easy35 - looking forward to see all those old slides again.
USE LIGHTROOM CLASSIC!! There's no cloud storing, it's all on your computer memory.
Use darktable. Its free and includes a module “negdoctor” for inverting color film
Or DPO same thing..
Almost seemed like you guessed it, I'm just rebuilding my film setup and wanted to move from flatbed to DSLR scanning (or better said GFX scanning), and this video helped me make some decisions. Thanks for sharing great tips and great knowledge!
You're welcome. Cheers.
2:26 Yes, that's my problem (lots of medium format 6x7 negatives).
I scanned most of my negatives -- both 35 mm and 6x6 cm - around 10 years ago using the 4990. It took forever and the results weren't all that great, especially the 6x6 negs which are not perfectly flat in the film holder. My D300 is low res by today's standards but with good glass and proper extensions, I might give this a shot. Also, I borrowed a Coolscan (4000, I think) for slides and it was a disaster with constant jams using the slide feeder. Speaking of slides, any suggestions?
Would 3 extension tubes with a reasonably close focusing normal lens work, or is absolutely necessary to have a true macro lens? Great vid, by the way!
Hi Kyle, I’ve just ordered it and now looking forward to starting scanning my negatives.
I’ve been getting different results from different labs so I’d like to see if I can scan myself and get good results.
I still need to learn how to develop film…
I have a question regarding pushing/pulling films; e.g. if I pull a film from iso 400 to 200, should I ask the lab to develop it at iso 200? Is this the general rule?
I’m fairly new to the 35mm film photography and trying to learn best practices.
Thank you, Maciej.
Fantastic review, Kyle, thank you! Let me know if you would like to try my system for scanning medium format film 😉 It is already released and available.
Amazing what people are creating in their spare bedroom with 3d printers well done
Great video have you heard of 120 in the future
In terms of preserving details camera scanning looks very good. However, the colors from dedicated scanners usually look better. The car's colors in the example look better on the Nikon scan in my opinion.
everything is better in his Nikoscans, it's just that Nikon doesn't make those scanners anymore and it's not paying youtubers to advertise its products..
@@giuseppeg.8461 I'd luke to add another thing. Once I had a Nikon LS-50. As far as I know, its 35mm scans are not very different from LS-8000 or LS-9000 scans. However, I didn't like that scans too much. Then I aquired a Noritsu scanner and I liked its scans much more (not talking about the scanning speed)!
As for the camera scanning, I don't quite understand, how can a camera with a CMOS sensor make good scans at all?
Fair enough. I personally am very happy with the colours from camera 'scanning'. But I know a lot of people prefer dedicated scanners.
@@KyleMcDougall Yeah, worries me that digital scanning is 'dumbing down' the colors of film (especially red + green). Colors might be limited or converted weirdly into digital spectrum of colors. Wonder what happens to dynamic range as well when you digitally scan via a camera
Kyle, thank you so much for this video -- so helpful and much needed. Quick question: so much of the appeal of this type of 35mm negative scanning relies on a question I rarely hear tabled on current videos, especially as someone who mostly shoots Black and White (tr-x 400 or Ilford) -- can you scan sharply and closely enough to see film grain on the negative?
All depends on the lens you choose, but in my experience, yes.
Hi! This sounds like a great setup! I have a GFX50s and a few fuji cameras as well. May I ask what macro lens you used with the GFX? Was it the canon FD or the linked Pentax? Can I get links to adaptors you may have needed with each? Starting to get into film again and was not too happy with the lab scans I got back unfortunately. May have to think about doing this myself 😅
This gadget and pixel shifted full frame or newer gfx setup could be spectacular?!
Nice video. Does Negative Lab batch convert?
Would buy a 120 version in a heartbeat
Hey, do you use an extension tube with this lens? I have the same set up and purchased the easy 35 for use with it, but the 1:1 only gives you a 645 frame 1:1 so the 35mm neg doesn’t take up the full frame like it seems to on the back of the camera in this video? Thanks as always!
OMG I Just ordered the Negative Supply kits...
Great comparison, I would say your setups produce nicer scans than the nikon scanner
Great!
Hey Kyle, great video! I'm actually using almost the same setup as you (same lens, GFX 50S) but I find myself having to use a few more extension tubes to get the negative in focus with the Pentax 120mm Macro. I noticed you have a different kind of adapter for the lens/body than me, does it maybe have to do something with that? Cheers!
Do you use extension tubes with the lens? I’m in the same boat, the 35mm frame only fills centre of the frame at 1:1 as it’s 1:1 for a 645 frame
I have a Fujifilm XT5. Any recommendations for lenses? Or is an old Nikon 55micro or Canon 50mm Macro (with extension tubes) just as good as anything else? Thank you 🙏
Quick question Kyle, I have read in reviews that the 120 holder does not keep the neg completely flat at times, can you comment on yr experience please?
Honestly, the cheap Fuji option, looked as good as the Nikon 9000 scan. I’m shocked how little difference there was between them.
I have one of these. For me it’s not working - I get a ton of haloing - I think that’s the word - reverse vignetting. No matter what brightness I set it to. Maybe it’s the macro lens I have - a micro Nikkor 60mm. I get the same problem with my Nikon D3x and the Z7ii.
Interesting video you did here. My main bone of contention with the VALOI easy35, it offers no 35mm slide holder. I have 35mm slides that haven't see the light of day in years. How can I scan them with a holder. Not so easy after all.
That's ridiculous Pricey!! You DON'T Need to buy everything folks. Just build one yourself. Lately I build DIY box scan for 35mm and 120mm films. It's only cost me $2.00 for Black Cardboard and works perfectly. As for light I already have small LED, as for stand I use my tripod. Much smarter and I safe tons of Money.😊
Ohh my! This looks like the solution I need and hopefully will mean that I will keep shooting 35mm film. Having limited space for my camera gear at home rules out the other options on the market. Already have a camera and macro lens.
Have you tried shooting any black & White with this setup as well? Thoughts about that process?
Thanks for a either great review.
I haven't scanned any B&W with the easy35, but it would be exactly the same as the colour.
This looks like a great setup if your film is perfectly flat. Many times film is curled. How do you deal with that?
Any recommendations for a macro lens? I’m using the Sony mirrorless system, and can’t decide what lens to get if I decide to use this system. Any help would be appreciated.
I wonder if a easy120 product would be possible. Love using the easy35 myself.
Hello, I have a GFX50SII, what vintage macro lens can you recommand for his camera?
Plustek OpticFilm nuff said.
A very reassuring product review for anyone worried about a drop in quality moving from a dedicated scanner. Thank you. But I wonder about the effectiveness of the dust removal attachment, especially as dust accumulates on it. What's your assessment?
The dust attachment seemed to work well for me. I gave the negatives a blast with the rocket blower first as well. But dust seemed to be minimal in my scans.
@@KyleMcDougalldust is always minimal when you process your own film
What does the whole system including brushes cost for the Canon RP full frame mirrorless camera excluding lens?
What afforadable negative / positive software?
It's okaaaay. However, if your negative isn't sufficiently dense (anything other than a bright, daytime shot) you're likely going to see orange vignetting in the corners of your scans, and that's because the Valoi Easy35 has defective/uneven backlighting on it's panels. They tried to fix this issue and send out new models, but unfortunately the issue persists. (I've been through 2 units myself).
You can take off the panel and then put something like a Viltrox in it's place which seems to remedy the issue... but it's an expensive modification as the Valoi Easy35 isn't actually cheap and obviously betrays the entire idea of the product. Despite all this, Valoi continues to market the product even tho they are well aware of the issue. Very disappointing.
Hi! I think I remember your case - of course very unfortunate. We genuinely couldn't figure out why your setup was never able to produce the expected results, and you're of course eligible for a return and refund. We have thousands of happy customers so it's always puzzling when someone has problems, but with a handful of setup combinations or negative types, there have been problems which we of course offer to replace or refund.

Sorry to hear you had issues, Julian. I didn't experience anything like that with mine.
The only digital camera I own is a fuji X-T200. is there an affordable lens you would recommend for that?
I was planning to splurge on a Negative Supply kit, but this one is much more convenient. Do you know if they have any plans for a 120, or is it technically impossible?
This 👀
Not sure. I hope so.
Hi Kyle, thanks for the useful video. I tried a number of different methods and tools to digitize my old slides (not negatives so far), with limited success. My number 1 issue was sub-optimal shaprness of the scans due to the film not being perfectly flat hence plain of focus was not definitive. The tool you use here does not seem to address this issue and I am not sure if there is any such non-industrial scanning tool out there that does. I am aware of flat bed scanners, but those cannot match the optical quality and rendering of a moderately decent lens with APSC< sized sensor combo. How would you overcome of the film curvature problem? Any suggestions?
F8?
@@mitchbrown3911 DoF=2.5mm @F8
Would this system work with a 90mm macro lens and 55mil thread size? The website says 62mil, I think the adapter ring step up would work.
I'd be interested to know if their system can be adapted to use enlarger lenses (assuming threads exist on both ends) instead of SLR lenses. Unlike macro lenses, enlarger lenses are designed for photographing flat surfaces.
Sure it can! Just make sure its an enlarger lens with a front filter thread. Not all have that
what's the difference between correcting white balance, brightness etc (min 8:25) vs just doing that in lightroom?
Looks like a great solution. Too bad my wife decided to throw away all of her negatives decades ago, not seeing the point of saving them if she had prints. All my film negatives are in a binder.
For medium format same thing, from camflix (japanese product) , called 120L with 3 Film holders, 6x4,5 / 6x6/ 6x7 , which I got. Amazing piece. High Quality made really. My Light source will be flash, for any LED , physically, are never capable of covering the entire Lightspectrum. It's a Physics thing. So the full spectrum of colors will never really show entirely and such missing spectrum areas are always "fabricated" or left out . Something about LED Physics You should research maybe. (Note: this has nothing to do with Kelvin temperatures). A 50mb sensor or higher to do this with a 6x6 negative comes now very handy.... the medium camera unit from camflix is cheaper , btw...
Full spectrum illumination isn't really all that critical. The camera sensor is usually just R, G and B; so are your eyes.
Incorrect in so many ways. Our eyes are indeed able to see full spectrum daylight, camera Sensors cannot do this. thats just for starters. Considering your statement here, for the rest on this topic, you would not understand any of it anyways... LOL @@thomasmaughan4798
Does the Valoi handle framed slides?
Does VALOI offer an option for 35mm mounted slides? I have a TON of 35mm B&W negatives !! ( and 3 TONS of mounted slides !! )
