Lomography DigitaLIZA Max

Lomography DigitaLIZA Max Review – By George Griffin

By / / Accessories & More / 13 Comments

Shortly after my Using a Mobile Phone And a Free App To Scan Negatives article came out in March, Lomography announced they were releasing a new type of scanning device for scanning film, the DigitaLIZA+ and the DigitaLIZA Max.

As someone who now does 99% of their scanning with a mobile phone, I was intrigued by these two new scanning products and pre-ordered the ditiaLIZA Max.

The only difference between the DigitaLIZA+ and Max is that the Max comes with a smartphone copy stand. The DigitaLIZA+ is aimed at people who really only use a DSLR/mirrorless camera and tripod to scan their negatives, whereas the Max gives you the option of a camera or mobile phone because of the included copy stand.

I’ve designed and 3D printed some film holders that work well with cut strips, and the models are free to download on Thingiverse.

It can be a faff to digitise your negatives with a DSLR and get good results. The negatives need to be held flat, but many people report getting ‘Newton’s rings’ interference patterns when they’re just weighted down directly onto a lightbox. Then there’s the light source itself — it’s hard to get a completely even area of pure white light.

The new ‘VALOI’ Film Holder is coming to Kickstarter Next Week and there is a newsletter sign-up on the website to get yourself in with a chance of grabbing an early bird here.

Regular readers might have noticed I get a little bit excited about film holders – this is of course because I brought pixl-latr to market, but I also find all advances in this corner of the film photography industry very interesting. The last one I spoke about on here was the Cameradactyl Mongoose which I had a lot of time for because of how much it could automate the process.
