Analogue photography is
experiencing a big-time revival right now, what with everyone going ga-ga over
the huge plethora of film cameras on the market. But we’re sure you’d want to
share your analogue shots on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and everywhere else —
and that’s where the new Lomography Smartphone Film Scanner will come in really
useful.
You can now scan your 35mm
films by simply inserting them into the scanner, placing your smartphone in
position and then simply using it to take a photo of the scanned negative, edit
it with the in-built application and — voilà! It’s now good to go online.
The Smartphone Film Scanner
works via a direct light scanner that illuminates your negatives, allowing your
smartphone to then immediately capture a photo. It works with colour negative,
colour slide, and black and white films, and even longer panoramic shots and
35mm LomoKino movies. And it simply operates on 2AA batteries, and measures
just 14cm x 7cm x 13cm and weighs a mere 244 grams, so you can easily carry it
around.
And as for the in-built
app, it’s iPhone and Android-compatible, and is able to convert all types of
35mm films, as well as stich together panoramas and animate LomoKino stills.

We definitely can’t wait to get our hands on this — after all, even with your analogue photographs, you know you’d want to share it online for the world to see.
