The DIY film scanning build that saved us over $1000

We’ve been shooting more and more film, but we really wanted to have a go at tanning our own film. We looked at professional scanning setups but looking at the cost to get into these systems, it was more than we wanted to pay. Especially considering we really just wanted to have a crack ourselves, before spending too much money. So, we set out to see if we could get the same results by building our own setup. 🔨 Build List: 600mm Galvanised Pipe (20mm) - $8.75 - https://www.bunnings.com.au/brasshard...
