Zoe Y. ★★★★★

I’ve been using this frame to proof 35mm rolls and the way it holds the paper flat is a huge improvement over my old setup. The hinged back makes swapping negatives quick without shifting anything out of alignment.

Ellie ★★★★★

The build quality is solid, and I love that the frame holds both 35mm and 120 film strips securely without any shifting during exposure. It's made proofing my medium format negatives noticeably faster and more consistent.

Thomas C. ★★★★★

Proofing a whole roll of 35mm in one go is a huge time-saver, and the glass keeps the negatives perfectly flat. It’s a simple tool that does exactly what it’s supposed to, which is all I really needed.
