It is accurate and faster to clean out all those annoying white dots and pieces of dust that are sitting on your ARW files. My best tip is using the latest version of Capture One 20 which has a brilliant spotting tool. Sometimes a film is almost spotless, while other films may look like they were dragged through hell. It probably takes more time handling each cut film strip. I have nearly finished one collection of about 14,000 B&W negative scans using a Sony mirrorless camera and homemade carriers held together with earth magnets. ICE does not work with silver halide film. Who knows, with as much black and white as I shoot (you cannot utilize dust removal on black and white film), maybe I'll look into one anyhow.ĭo you scan your film at home? How much time do you think you'd save with an automatic film scanner? Should they ever make the hardware for also scanning 120, I could definitely see myself picking up the Mongoose. The one thing that will hold me back on buying one of these is the inability to utilize ICE, as my Epson V600 can, and the fact that it only does 35mm. Further, I typically have multiple rolls to scan at once, which depending on the number, can take hours to scan. For 35mm in particular, the process is entirely too slow for what feels like a minimal payoff given the small negative. If you run a small lab, this scanner can be a huge time-saver.Īs someone who shoots a lot of film, 35mm to 120 to 4x5, I spend far more time next to my scanner than I'd like. If you're a film photographer who scans a lot of your own film, this scanner could shave off a lot of your time. The Mongoose is an automatic film scanner for specifically made for 35mm film. In this video, Mat Marrash does a review of the Cameradactyl Mongoose prototype soon to be available to the public.
