Which light source is right for you?

4×5 Light Source Basic MK2 – 99 CRI – The 4×5 Light Source Basic MK2 was developed to accurately scan 35mm up to 4×5. The 99 CRI light source is highly color accurate and consistent. It’s compatible with all Negative Supply adapter plates and accessories so you don’t ever need to worry about your accessories not being backwards compatible with our tools.

Light Source Mini 97 CRI – Our most advanced light source to date is also tied for the brightest light source we make with the 4×5 Light Source Pro! The Light Source Mini is 2 full stops brighter than our Light Source Basic MK2 and effectively as color accurate (*see below). This light source is meant to scan 35mm and 120 film up to 6×9 which is the maximum image area of our 120 film carriers.

After extensive testing, Negative Supply has determined the following:

4×5 Light Source Basic MK2 99 CRI: Scored a 98.3 for TLCI and 99.0 CRI*

Light Source Mini 97 CRI: Scored a 98.0 for TLCI and 97.3 CRI

That means that scans from either of these light sources will show effectively no difference even in tricky color scenes. If you’re scanning 35mm and 120 film our Light Source Mini 97 CRI is absolutely the right choice for you.
