CineStill CS-LITE Camera Scanning Light Source

The CS-LITE Camera Scanning Light Source is a compact light source specifically designed to provide film photographers with higher-quality light output and improved colour management when scanning their favourite 35mm film and medium format films with a digital camera or mobile phone.

Features:

- High quality LED light source for digital camera scanning of photographic film
- CRI of 95+ for high colour accuracy
- Brightness of EV 15+
- Adjustable to 3 different colour temperatures to properly suit different types of film (colour negative, B+W, slide)

Benefits:

- Greater control for accurate camera and phone scanning
- Easily switch between colour temperatures
- Fast and simple set-up for quick film scanning

The CS-LITE features a CRI of 95+ for high colour accuracy and a brightness of EV 15+ to provide sufficient illumination for even the densest of negatives. What sets the CS-LITE apart from other light sources on the market is its ability to adjust colour temperatures to properly suit different types of film, such as colour negative, colour positive, and black and white. These are controlled directly from the built-in remote control of the CS-LITE.

The Cool Light mode reduces the orange mask that is present in colour negative film like CineStill 800T, 400D, and 50D, providing colour balanced scans with better colour separation and less noise.

The White Light mode is ideal for scanning black and white film, as well as slide film that has been processed with the warm-tone dilution of the CineStill D9 DynamicChrome 1st Developer.

Lastly, the Warm Light mode is perfect for scanning standard E6 (or CineStill D6 DaylightChrome) processed slide film, as the tungsten-balanced light can produce richer tones and enhanced colour separation, especially within the red channel.

What else is included?

The CS-LiteMask is Cinestill's universal film carrier mask that pairs with pre-existing film carriers like those made by Negative Supply, VALOI, Lomography, and more. Masking around the edges of the carrier helps to eliminate spill light, reducing unwanted reflections and maintaining uniformity across the entirety of your scans. The CS-LiteMask comes included with the CS-Lite.
