I'm not sure as I use mine on a light pad with copy stand. But it was designed for flat bed scanners.
I wouldn't wait though, as it seems that production has stopped (at least temporarily) as Lomo does not have it in their regular section, but 'last in stock' which implies a discontinued product.
With the other masks (film holders from enlargers) that I was using, I could see that the corners were not as sharp as the center due to film flatness. This has completely fixed that, plus it allows for any length on film in that format (6x6, 6x9 etc). And it allows for sprockets in the image if you want.
I currently have individual film masks/holders for each format. This product allows me to get rid of all that jazz.
Funny thing is for all the grief that people like to give Lomo, this really is a great product.
1:1 crop from left most edge of the Noblex pano image showing how flat this product holds the film. My previous attempts of capturing pano images by taking two regular 35mm frame shots, then merging, still showed softness on the edges. And that was with a shorter (and thus easier to keep flat) 35mm frame.
Kevin,Thanks again for sharing this, and to Edward for his post that stated the ability to run the scanner under Win 8 / 10, both of which encouraged me and got me enthused.
After a number of time-pressing activities, I can now look seriously at installing the scanner into WIn10 tomorrow.
...As for MF scanning, I reckon that the DSLR approach will give me better results than the Epson V700. I have already received the Lomography magnetic filmstrip holder, and the Amazon-sourced USB-powered LED light-table is on its way to me - thanks again Huss!

I just received my Lomo Digitiliza film holder. This thing is fantastic as it uses magnets to hold the film flat and can be used for any 35mm format. I wish I knew about this years ago!! I also got a 120 one which can be used for any 120 format (6x4.5, 6x6, 6x9 etc)
The DigitaLiza is a great holder for 120**. I like being able to get a bit of the film mask in the scans.
**Note that the DigitaLiza is great for 120 film, but not as great for 35mm. (I have both) The 35mm 'Liza only grabs a tiny sliver of the film edge to allow scanning the sprocket holes. If there's any curl, it fails to grab securely and the film doesn't lay flat. This is not a problem with the 120 version, which grabs more of the film edge.
The DigitaLiza is available from other sources, such as B&H (where I got mine), but it has definitely been out of production for awhile.

I haven't had any issues with the 35mm one, it is much better than any other 35mm holder I've used. The crop I've posted above in this thread from a pano shot with a Noblex shows complete flatness (and sharpness) to the edge of the film border. I cannot be happier with it.

Wonderful Delta 3200 shots Edward. Nice and gritty. That's a great film.
Thank you RM
This time actually was quite disappointing. The roll came back underdeveloped and very grainy from the lab. I could only save the shots that were overexposed.
The Gloster Gladiator shot re-scanned, now using Nikon Soft 4.0.3 on Windows 10.
Digital ICE only, none of the other fancy schmanzy (smeary!) digital filtering, however (!) the grain from this
Agfachrome CT slide was reduced in Lightroom for both this image and the earlier one scanned
using Vuescan: luminance noise reduction set at 50%. Other LR Develop settings are equal, except for WB.
I have a side-by-side screenshot comparison of the two scans (Vuescan Prof / Mac OSX and this later Nikon Scan version) on Flickr. I believe I used the 2-scan and multi-exposure options in Vuescan.
Experimented with long exposure photography using a combination of Mamiya RZ67 Pro and the Mamiya 65/4 K/L lens. Two wire cable releases are required to open and close the lens shutter since the lens is made for the predecessor RB67 camera system which is fully manual. Fuji Velvia 100F film, home-developed with E-6. 30 Sec exposure at f/32.
Here's what they call 'the schoolbus'. Sikorsky S-76 helicopters carried me out to work in the Gulf of Mexico many times; a very nice ride, all things considered. Chamonix field camera, Kodak Commercial Ektar 8.5" lens, expired Kodak E100VS reversal film.
A slightly different view of the Chicago Theatre again shot on Neopan Acros. I saw many plays and concerts at this venue. Miles Davis (twice), Kitaro, Jethro Tull (twice), are the ones I can remember.
The theatre seats around 5,000, but does not have a bad seat, as it is much wider than it is deep. The architecture is modeled after the palace of Versailles in France. You can see the Arc de Triomphe built into the main window in front.
