Pixl-latr has launched an accessory mask which the company says makes it easier to scan film with its film holder.
The new A4-sized mask will be in stock on 19 April but is already available for pre-order. It costs £7.49 + VAT.
Pixl-latr says the new mask has three functions:
- Masks extraneous light, helping to ensure high quality results
- Stops the pixl-latr film holder from slipping on the surface
- Grips strips of roll film either side of the holder, providing a more stable platform for scanning
Pixl-latr, the brainchild of 35mmc founder Hamish Gill, was released last year after being funded on Kickstarter in 2018. It’s one of a raft of film holders which have been launched to tap into the burgeoning market for home scanning using digital cameras, including the recent Cameradactyl Mongoose automated film-scanning holder.
I'm a New Zealander who has been living in London since the mid-1990s, shooting film seriously since the year 2000. Kosmo Foto was launched in 2012 and has since become a film brand, with the release of my first films Kosmo Foto Mono 35mm (2017) and Kosmo Foto Mono 120 (2019).
I’m doing everything I can to promote film photography in the 21st Century, and help it survive and thrive. If you want to write something for Kosmo Foto, please drop me a line at foto.dowling@gmail.com.
