Hi…
Just saw your post…I am actually trying to sell this unit. Although, it is a great machine I decided to go the copystand route so I could just have a dedicated camera for all scanning…slides, negatives, and reflective media. I was using their Slidesnap Pro machine which would allow you to have slides in carousels for quick capture.
To answer your question…the light is diffused…but I guess if you wanted to switch out the light source you could do it pretty easily. At least in the film I converted with this machine I didn’t have any issues with flatness…The negative is pulled through by a little conveyer belt holding the bottom part (over the sprockets) and then a small grooved guide that the top part would move through.
Again, I am trying to sell this one that I honestly only used on one job of less than 500 frames before switching setups. So if you are interested let me know.
Thanks,
Chris
This is my current setup…
