Product Description

The VALOI easy35 is an innovative, compact, and self-contained 35mm film scanning system that features a built-in light source and attaches directly to a macro lens, delivering professional quality scans in a system the size of a water bottle, while requiring no copy stand or separate light source. It is modular, compatible with most cameras, and above all, easy to use!

It does not include the digital camera or macro lens, both required to make final scans.

Compatibility
Suitable for scanning 35mm film out of the box. The standard holder can be replaced with a variant showing the sprockets of the film. In the future, it will be compatible with smaller film sizes like APS, 110 and 126 film.
Most interchangeable-lens digital cameras make excellent scanning cameras. You will need a macro lens capable of focusing to 1:1 magnification to scan 35mm film. Most of those lenses available will be compatible.

We do not recommend using lenses than the following focal lengths:
Full frame: Shorter than 55mm, Longer than 105mm
APS-C: Shorter than 40mm - Longer than 70mm
M4/3: Shorter than 40mm - Longer than 60mm
Longer focal lenses can work, but we cannot guarantee there are enough included tubes to use the combination. Shorter focal length lenses can cause vignetting.
If you are unsure or want to test yourself, follow THIS guide and check that the distance you found is shorter than 230mm.
We recommend using thin cotton gloves while scanning to prevent damage to the film.

Materials
The easy35 is a premium product. It is constructed from quality materials because scanning demands precision, and inferior materials do not yield a precision device.

The housing is crafted from Nylon 12, an exceptionally robust plastic that is both rigid and incredibly durable. This material is also ideal for additive manufacturing. It is produced using an additive manufacturing technique known as MJF, enabling the creation of complex shapes. This results in a device that's stronger, lighter, and more compact.

The tubes, including the part that facilitates tube rotation for rotational adjustment, are made from aluminium and are anodised with a super-matte finish. While this makes the tube somewhat heavy, it ensures it is incredibly rigid. The precise threading not only enhances the user experience but also guarantees that the device aligns perfectly with the sensor. Additionally, the super-matte finish ensures no reflections bounce back onto the film.

Inside, there's a secondary diffuser crafted from a Plexiglas diffuser acrylic designed explicitly for LED diffusion. This ensures no colour shift and promises consistency, with a guarantee against yellowing for 30 years.

Light Source System
Unlike cheaper solutions, the easy35 has a light system based around a powerful and high-quality light source.
Powerful light output, with shutter speeds typically between 1/40s-1/200s
CRI 95 rated for excellent colour reproduction
Bi-colour LED adjustable to different colour temperatures
Plexiglas secondary diffuser designed explicitly for LED diffusion guaranteed for 30 years against yellowing
2-3 hour battery life
USB-C charging
Chargeable while on for long scanning sessions
Replaceable light source unit for a long lifetime
Internal reflector for an even light in a small footprint

Accessories
The easy35 can mount the easy35 Duster on it and has interchangeable holders.
The easy35 has replaceable film holders. Currently, only the standard 35mm holder and the 35mm Sprocket holder are available. By the end of 2023, there will be the following available: 50x50mm mounted slide holder, APS, 110, 126.

To use this product, you need an interchangeable-lens digital camera and a macro lens to focus on a 1:1 reproduction ratio.
