There are many hands-on parts to the film photography experience I enjoy, but scanning is not one of them. If we're talking about 35mm film, the task can feel daunting considering the end result. In recent years, single capture technology has improved in DSLR and mirrorless cameras, making them excellent scanning devices. Unfortunately, there's still a lot of time involved in this process too. In today's video, I'm giving you a first look at a film scanning product I have out on loan from CAMERADACTYL that seeks to change the pace of film scanning. I present to you, the MONGOOSE.

The MONGOOSE has only 9 days left on Kickstarter (October 15th, 2020): kickstarter.com/projects/cameradactylmongoose/the-cameradactyl-mongoose-fast-automated-35mm-film-scanning
