4x5 Light Source Basic 99 CRI

The 4x5 Light Source Basic was Negative Supply's very first light source and Negative Suuply developed it to accurately scan 35mm up to 4x5. The 99 CRI light source is highly color accurate and consistent. It’s compatible with all Negative Supply adapter plates and accessories so you don’t ever need to worry about your accessories not being backwards compatible with Negative Supply's tools.

Light Source Mini 97 CRI

Their newest and most advanced light source to date is also tied for the brightest light source Negative Suuply make with the 5x7 Light Source Pro! The Light Source Mini is 4 full stops brighter than Negative Supply's Light Source Basic and effectively as color accurate (*see below). This light source is meant to scan 35mm and 120 film up to 6x9 which is the maximum image area of our 120 film carriers.

CRI doesn’t tell the full story of a light source’s color accuracy. CRI is a metric used to tell us how a light source renders color based on human perception. What this does not tell us is how this light will render on film or in Negative Supply's case, a digital camera. The TLCI value will give us a more complete view of color accuracy and more directly relates to film scanning. The TLCI value is averaged from the 24 colors from the MacBeth Color Checker Chart with the maximum value of 100 being the best. Light sources that score 90 or higher are often seen as high-quality light sources that will cut down on post-production time.

After extensive testing they determined the following:

4x5 Light Source Basic 99 CRI: Scored a 98.3 for TLCI and 99.0 CRI

Light Source Mini 97 CRI: Scored a 98.0 for TLCI and 97.3 CRI

That means that scans from either of these light sources will show effectively no difference even in tricky color scenes. If you’re scanning 35mm and 120 film Negative Supply's Light Source Mini 97 CRI is absolutely the right choice for you.
