The Negative Supply 4x5 Light Source Basic MK2 is the next of the second generation light sources from Negative Supply meant to replace the original 4x5 Light Source Basic. Designed with 35mm, 120 and 4x5 film in mind, the 4x5 Light Source Basic MK2 is created for all users in mind that need a solid, reliable light source with a high degree of color accuracy over long periods of time. As with our other light sources, the 4x5 Light Source Basic MK2 is also capable of taking our various adapter plates for film carriers to be used directly on the light source. You can also use our Pro Mount MK2 if you to mask off light from below, have leveling capabilities and an anti-static dust brush.

With learns from our recent releases, this light source comes with our custom designed and in-house finished internal acrylic that drastically increases brightness, improves CRI rating, and boasts perfect light uniformity for up to 4x5 sheet film. We’ve also developed new manufacturing methods that allow for a smaller light source that will still dissipate heat during long scanning sessions while also allowing us to decrease our cost and pass the savings along to you!
