  • Ha, the external lens delivers the best quality 👍

    possibly a newer / higher spec phone would do it better?

    Yea, definitely.
    I had an old iPhone 6 until last year and then upgrade to a 14 Pro last year, it's nuts.

    This is holding a strip of slide film in front of a piece of paper in front of my window -

  • Impressive.

    What you're telling me is that I can scrap a 10 year old phone, 15 year old film scanner, and a 20 year old desktop computer (retained mainly to drive the scanner) and replace all of it with an iPhone.

    I might go and re-varnish my pinhole cameras while thinking this through...

  • If I had the time I'd build some sort of "scanning station" like the one you have, and re-"scan" some of the negatives I have with the iPhone, to see how they compare to the original scans (done with a Quato / Plustek dedicated 35mm scanner, years ago).

    Fun fact: I did use this scanner with an old Windos XP laptop back in the day, onto which I istalled Windows 10 at some point - only to realize a few weeks later that there's no way on earth I'll get drivers for that scanner that work with Win10 🤪
