Hardware involves an old slide projector, a DSLR, macro lens that scales a slide to the size of the camera sensor (camera looks straight on the film into the – dimmed – projector light), a Raspberry pi 3 and an I2C relay card. People go through such lengths (aka money) to produce an aesthetic that is so much more appealing the the format that is innate to film.It's not the fastest way to scan film, and if you have a lot of rolls to process, you might want something a bit snappier.

The Kodak Slide N Scan Film and Slide Scanner includes holders for 50 x 50 hinged slides, 135 film, 126 film, and 110 film. You may think of a “point” on a film as a gaussian distribution of intensity, considering that the actual silver halide crystal grains are randomly distributed and there are many of them per each point of information you want to record. Add the photo interruptor with the 2 M2 screws, the stepper with the 4 M3x6mm screws and mount the plate to the box. I don’t see why not, it’s a matter of scaling up the film handling parts and figuring out the function of the film gate in a new format. V1: Scanning 15000 images showed that the frame has been corrected by the stepper about 500 times - peaking when glued parts of the film got scanned.It never looks the same as real film grain because the medium cannot actually reproduce the effect, and this is why the film producers try to use a type of grain that isn’t exactly random – which then ends up looking fake. Choose a film scanner based on your budget, film habits, and what you want to do with the scanned images. And as you say yourself, a proper camera will be miles ahead of a cheesy little CMOS sensor with cheap colour filters and electronics, and real optics instead of a moulded plastic lens. degree stepper usually positions the frames very precise, there are variations especially when glued parts of the film, which are thicker, pass by. Since 1937, we’ve been reviewing cameras, providing wisdom from well-known photographers, and generally just nerding out about all that goes into making great pictures.
