Mia ★★★★★

Finally, a contact sheet that doesn't require wrestling with curling strips of film — the slots hold everything flat and square, so I can see all 36 frames at a glance. It's become the first step in every roll I develop now, and it's honestly made picking my keepers far less of a chore.

Isabella J. ★★★★★

The slots hold my 35mm strips perfectly flat against the glass, making it quick to check an entire roll. I appreciate how the hinged back keeps everything aligned without shifting.

Ruby ★★★★★

I’ve been using this frame to make contact sheets from my 35mm rolls, and the slots make loading negatives quick and frustration-free. It handles a full 36-exposure strip perfectly, so I can see every shot before deciding what to enlarge.
