Negative Supply 4x5 Light Source Basic MK2 99 CRI
The Negative Supply 4x5 Light Source Basic MK2 99 CRI is a high-quality LED light source designed for accurate and consistent film scanning across 35mm, 120, and 4x5 formats. As part of Negative Supply’s second-generation range, it delivers improved brightness, excellent colour accuracy, and even illumination, making it a reliable foundation for any camera scanning setup.
System Compatibility Notes
This light source forms the base of a Negative Supply scanning system and is designed to be used with compatible film carriers such as the Basic and Pro Film Carrier ranges via the appropriate adapter plates or stabilising masks. It supports scanning up to 4x5 film and works with a wide range of accessories including the Pro Mount MK2, which adds levelling control, improved light masking, and optional dust removal tools. It is fully backwards compatible with accessories designed for the original 4x5 Light Source Basic.
Why We Like It
A good light source is the foundation of any scanning setup, and this one delivers exactly what you need without overcomplicating things. The improved internal acrylic design gives noticeably brighter and more even illumination, which is especially important when scanning larger formats like 4x5. The 99 CRI and TLCI performance means colour accuracy is excellent straight out of the camera, reducing time spent correcting files later. It is also compact and runs cool, making it well suited to longer scanning sessions whether you are working at home or in a more demanding environment.
