My Valoi35 film scanning setup just arrived. As promised here are my first impressions. The whole kit is excellent in design, materials, build, and workflow. This will improve my film shooting experience and results many fold, and lower my costs substantially. From the time I opened the box, to the time I had my first frame scanned was about 15 minutes. Dead easy to setup and use. I should be able to scan a 36 image roll of film in less than 10 minutes including setup and tear down time. The best thing is the scan quality I am getting is so far superior to the low quality jpegs I have been paying too much money for. I now get beautifully scanned, 60 mpx RAW DNG files. I am using my SL3 and 50mm APO-SL lens with a extender on it. So $35 for the new lens parts. The Valoi35 light source is about perfect. Bright enough to allow ISO 64 and so even across the frame that there is no visible vignetting from the scanning. The detail in the image, the malleability of the file are all top rate. At this point, I can highly recommend the product for anyone who shoots film. This is one of the rare photographic accessory tools that is worth owning.
This is my first scan and conversion. Works great!
This is the entire footprint of the scanning setup. Fits anywhere
