JJC Film Digitizing Adapter Set review: easy and cost-effective camera scanning with a catch

JJC Film Digitizing Adapter Set attached to a Fujifilm X-T5 camera on a green lined cutting mat.

Whether you are a budding film photographer looking to share your latest work on social media, or you just have a big box of negatives in the attic that you want to secure in digital form, it's never been simpler or cheaper to get great scans at home. And leading the charge on both simple and cheap is the JJC Film Digitizing Kit which is one of the most affordable accessories I have seen for digitizing film.

The JJC Digitizer uses a method of "scanning" known as camera scanning, which involves taking high-quality pictures of your negatives using a digital camera and then converting them using specialist software that turns negatives into positives. The benefits are that this is the fastest way to scan negatives, and with the right setup, image quality can be every bit as good as a lab scanner. The downside though is you need a digital camera and macro lens.
