Perfectly flat

The holder maximizes contact area around the frame that is clamped down evenly and firmly with two neodymium magnets

Who am I

My name is Michael and taking photos on an outdated medium using half-broken cameras, and DIY has been my hobby for decades. I've been falling in and out of love for analog photography for years now and when I took the final plunge, I quickly realized that film holders for DSLR scanning are either ridiculously overprized or don't work well. After trying a couple of affordable options an idea for The Lobster Holder has come up. I shared the prototypes with my community of other film junkies, who loved it, so I decided to offer it to a wider audience.
