Film Digitizing Adapter Set with LED Light Replaces Nikon ES-2 Convert 35mm Negative Film & Slide to Digital Photos Images for Canon Sony Nikon Lens

I've looked at other solutions from Canon & Nikon and had sticker shock.While I'm sure they are very well made, I just could not justify the cost.Yes, this is mostly made of plastic but it's a far cry form the $300-$800 setups I found people using on the internet.The light source works well and is very convenient by comparison to the other kluged-together setups I tried first.I will say you will be well served by rigging some sort of support system as this does extend out quite far from the camera and has the tendency to sag.This can be done at the hardware store or at the camera store.Luckily for me I had some old DSLR video rig hardware laying around and was able to put together a very stable rig. By no means do I think you need to buy all this stuff. I just happened to have it so I used what I had.You could probably put something together with some scraps of wood.It might not be as cool looking as my rig but you just need a way of supporting the setup.The other thing I discovered that will be true of any hardware you use is that processing the resultant files is not a one click endeavor. I won't delve too deep into the details but the reality is that different films will need different processing. Slides will clearly be much easier than negatives. I found a piece of software called Negative Lab Pro that seems promising. I have not used it yet but there is a free trial you can download to make sure it's worth the extra money. I've heard that Nikon has a software solution for some of their higher end cameras but I shoot Canon so…Good luck everyone

Using this on my Nikon D850 to digitize negatives to positive, works great, price is much less than the Nikon brand & includes light, also to mention I’m using this on Nikon 105mm f2.8 macro lens,

I use this to digitize my 35mm slides when I was stationed in Thailand. Once set up it only takes seconds to digitize a slide. My equipment is as follows Sony A7R2 full frame camera, macro extension tubes, A Tacomar 28mm f3.5 manual lens and a tripod. A good photo editing software is needed for the best results. For the price this is very good. Well worth the money.

I used this with a Nikon Z7, followed by a Nikon FTZ adapter, two extension tubes (36mm + 20mm), AF-S Micro Nikkor 60mm 1:2.8G, and finally the #1 and #3 adapters that came with my kit. Per the excellent suggestion of another reviewer, I "permanently" attached the provided LED light source to the assembly using M3 x 16mm bolts instead of the flimsy plastic pins provided. The overall assembly is a bit unwieldy but surprisingly mechanically stable (the entire setup will sit flat on a table for additional rigidity). The slide and negative holders, staging assembly and light source are of course plastic. The adapters that attach to the front of the macro lens are metal.I'm not sure the extension tubes are strictly necessary for casual use but they allow me to frame the negative tighter.As mentioned by other reviewers, one small complaint I would share is that the 275mm long negative holder is not held as rigid horizontally as would be desired and therefore may require some fiddling to ensure the negative frames are not skewed. It would seem the sort of issue that could be solved with very slightly tighter mechanical tolerances (or maybe some clever DIY modification). With a little care, one can get excellent results using this rig.

The product works OK but the LED causes the meter in the camera to cycle and caused inaccurate lighting.I recommend not getting the LED back light. Just use either sun light or an OTT-Lite. Manual focus and any of the auto exposure modes. I used program and It works well. Not as good as you would get from a professional lab.

It is a very basic product, the film holder is limited, it does not allow you to keep the film perforations or sprocket holes which limits it quite a bit, you must be very precise when adding the film in its holder so that the dividers do not alter the photo.In conclusion, it is a very expensive product to only be limited to 35mm and not offer the option to adapt 120.For that price, I recommend that you look for other options on the market.

Love the concept and generally happy with it but unfortunately the LED light stopped working within 50 slides. I think it’s the USB interface internally that is cheap. If I move things around, I can occasionally get a little flicker of light.

I must have scanned over a 100 negatives and slides with ease. This the Bhat in a long line of scanners I tried during the years.
