110 Film Scanner with Nikon Camera

thingiverse

This Nikon-based system scans 110 film using a lens reversing ring for high magnification and short focal length. You'll need a Nikon SLR, F mount lens, reversing ring (e.g., BR-2A), light source like a phone screen with flashlight app, and an IR remote or programmable universal remote to trigger the camera. Before printing, determine your tube length by adjusting focus/zoom until you get a full frame negative image. Input this in the customizer for a tailored STL. A 50mm lens includes an STL, but adjustments may be needed with other lenses. A small table lifts the focal plane away from light source and prevents pixel visibility; frosted glass serves the same purpose. Set up your light source below the film, focusing through the reversing ring in manual mode with aperture wide open for minimal exposure time. A remote trigger ensures sharp images. Post-processing involves cropping, inverting, and adjusting levels on your computer. The creator is working on a similar system for 35mm film, with updates to come.
