Film cameras are gaining popularity- but how do you keep the benefits of digital? You can pay a pro shop to digitize your film for you but that’s expensive. What about a home solution? In these videos Linus and friend of the channel Brandon Lee try out to at-home digitization devices to find out what the tradeoffs are.
