- Recently I was lucky enough to be sent Lomography's new product, the DigitaLIZA+, to try out. It provides a brand new way to scan negatives including the sprocket holes.
In this video, I also pair the DigitLIZA+ with the DigitaLIZA Max, which includes a base plate and stand. This means you can scan negatives with your camera and phone!

looks like a 'cheaper' Negative Supply film holder, BUT I am soo glad you assembled the base board ON camera, as the Other mob don't, they 'assume' everyone knows how to do it, but as others have said, USE a camera!, the phone is barely a 1/4 the size of MICRO 4/3rd sensors!!!, so the magnification required for printing will be enourmous, as well as any noise and other issues.
Happy to see a more budget version of the more expensive digital scanning kits out there.I need to test it to see if it will benefit or speed up my workflow other than using a flatbed scanner. Definitely less finicky than the original digitaliza.
Thank you for demonstrating your workflow!
Just found this on the Lomo site and I'm definitely going to buy one!!. To be able to quickly scan pics on the go is a big plus for this little rig. If you're going to use a camera with this, you'll need a tripod or copy stand as the phone stand won't handle a camera. But, for scanning and posting pics to instagram or elsewhere from your phone, this is a great bit of kit. If you have your tripod with you on a trip, then using your camera won't matter. So, you'll have the best of both worlds.
Thank you, it's really good to see the workflow laid out like this!
This seems to be a good system for making digital images from film negatives. The problem I have, and I am sure many others will also have the same problem is copying mounted slides to digital format, something overlooked by Lomography. Time to find a slide copier.
I’m trying really hard to pay attention but I can’t stop thinking how cool your sweatshirt is and how I need one in my life
Nice! I'm still waiting on mine to arrive. Great video. 👍
I just ordered one last night before I saw your video. (I am assuming the algorithm is doing its thing.) I have a pile of 110 negatives in the attic I want to go through. I am moving to the UK permanently, so I bought this in the US because everything is cheaper there (except for produce). I figured this was a great way to get it done. Plus I can take my 35mm negatives with me to England. I just learned Photopea.
Good news, I have a macro lens. So when I return in May, I will test it out with that.
I am really looking forward to this. It is a great alternative to buying an expensive flatbed scanner with 7,500 dpi resolution.
This is really cool, thanks for sharing.
Now I want to scan with my phone! Really great
Thanks! I was curious about this setup.
Thank you. I am quite new to all of this and something like this is really a help. Also it is not that expensive for a student like me
This looks awesome! Will be easier than my v600 like you said! Not shot anything for over 6 months though just not been motivated
I know the feeling! It's ok, the creative juices will be back 😁
LOVE this video but my biggest question is where did you get that sweater because I 100% need it
This looks awesome. I bought a macro lens for just this purpose only to find my tripod wouldn't contort itself correctly. I have a V600 as well and like it for 120 but find it inadequate for 35 though that could be user error on my part. Looking forward to the new videos.
Thank you Edward 😁 I have a V600 too, I really love it, but it takes a long time to scan a roll
i want one!
Does it keep negative frames flat? I'm looking to buy either Valoi film holder or this one (DSLR scanning)
Looking at purchasing the DigitaLIZA Max for use with my iPhone 14Pro Max. I need a 35mm Slide Holder to use with the DigitaLIZA Max. Do you have any suggestions ? Thanks.
great job on this review...I bought the scanner for 120 film and I honestly completely regret it lol I even reached out to the company. they had me send a bunch of pictures of 'the problem' then claimed I was doing it wrong but wouldn't specify how..so yeah wasted a bunch of film trying to get it working :( I dont recommend the product at all, even for 35mm there are cheaper options for sure
What was the phone you used at the time when you created this video? I thought about getting the digitaliza+, but worry my galaxy s20 camera might not do justice to the quality.
Personally, I wouldn't consider using a mobile phone for this purpose. I would however, consider using my M43 camera with a macro lens but nobody seems to demo using such a setup. For example how would the camera be attached and would the rig be substantial enough to hold it? I received an email from Lomography offering the Digitaliza Max at an introductory price of €99 BUT the estimated shipping date won't be until May 2022, 😞Please get a macro lens and demo this! Another great video!
Apropos my previous comment, I have just seen the following on Lomography's site.....
Q. Can I mount my digital camera on the Smartphone Stand?
A.Please do not mount your digital camera on the Smartphone Stand! The Smartphone Stand is not sturdy enough to support the weight of your digital camera safely. When scanning with a digital camera, we recommend that you use a height-adjustable tripod or copy stand to hold your camera steady for the best film scans.
So I am afraid I won't be going down this road.
@@bob4chelsea fair enough! I think you'd need a tripod as well, for a camera
no 6x9 possibility?
Can you scan the border of 120 film ?
Does anybody know the CRI score of the light panel?
Definitely I'd use a camera 😃
Can't wait to get a macro lens to try it out 😁
@@MadisonBeach or look into extension tubes or bellows, either do a fantastic job.. I don't know your set up.. I use vintage lenses on a Canon M50, it works perfectly for me. I also have a duplicator lens which is a bit of a faff and can't do 120 with. When I clean my west german tessar, I'll try extension tubes with it. A tessar is really sharp so it should do the job nicely. 🙂
@@aidanhowgate5437 awesome, Thank-you Aidan!
@@MadisonBeach simonsutak RUclips page has an interesting video on tubes and bellows.
It's pretty cool that scanning kits just keep popping up, makes it feasible for almost anyone nowadays
Is there an app to convert ?
Does it do 120 film? It also looks like one of the negatives you scanned wasn’t held flat by the device.
Yes it also does 120 😁 and great spot, for the last frame of each negative strip I found that the edge sometimes did slightly curve
@@MadisonBeach Will the negative holder take 6 x 9 cm frame size ie for 8 exposrues on 120 film? Thank you considering his question.
nice idea but i feel like you could buy a used scanner and film holder for around the same price and higher quality scans, i don't travel around too much like yourself though
For sure, it's not for everyone. But for the job it does, it's really cool.but totally get your point 👌
Having tried it both ways, I'm not convinced a scanner is going to produce higher quality scans -- there are more surfaces to keep clean, and the very directional light of a scanner tends to make the film look grainier than it really is. I'll concede this device is primarily suited to someone who shoots a roll of film occasionally and wants to have a go at scanning it, rather than someone who has hundreds of rolls of film to scan, but it seems like a reasonably priced way to get your feet wet.
Nice video again. I only use film, so I dont have a digital camera. How do you get the image from your phone onto your tablet?
I send the images via wetransfer from my phone to my laptop 😁
Thankyou very much for your reply. 🏴👍
100 EUR is quite a lot of money. For that money you can get a used CanoScann and a Silverfast Licence ;) Ok, you don t have the portability....but the results will be much more detailed ;)
I ditched my CanoScan because it was incredibly slow and ruthlessly magnified every tiny scratch and flaw along with exaggerating the film's grain structure. Sad fact: There just isn't any reasonably-priced way to digitize negatives and get the same quality as a wet print from a custom lab! This setup is probably as good as anything for the occasional film experimenter; once you've seen your results, if you find you've got a pic of hang-on-the-wall caliber, you can send your film out for a high-end scan of it.
good review, but one comment to give to Lomography, as this is made up of many parts, a case, or satchel to store it in would make the hole thing more usable, and portable; as there would be less chance of damaging some parts as if they were lose in a camera bag's pockets, or dividers.
Great point! 🙌
How much does it cost?
Great question, I've added the links in the description 😁
Would better buy the quality one from Negative Supply
Yeah, but that's like 5x as much money. This one is plasticky, but it has enough metal parts in it to keep it reasonably flat and sturdy. If you're shooting only a few rolls of film per week it would be fine.
I think they missed the chance to add a slide holder to the kit. People who have negatives to scan also have slides.
Side note: you are hard to understand. I think a separate microphone could improve that.
Now that I no longer need to project my 35mm positive films in a slide projector, I just cut them into strips and handle them as if they were negatives, so this setup would work fine with that. Of course you're right if you have a lot of old mounted 35mm transparencies; still, a mounted slide is 2x2 inches and the 120 holder is 2-1/4 inches wide, so plopping the mounted slide down in the middle of the 120 scan area would be one possible solution.
I have a separate microphone 😅 but the apartment is super echoey, it's better than I sound normally haha. But I'm moving soon 👍
