easy120 Medium Format Holders

The easy120 offers four Medium Format Holder variants: one universal holder suitable for all medium format roll film up to 6×9, and three format-specific holders. These format-specific holders feature an aperture or gate size that closely matches the film format, ensuring excess light is blocked out. This design gives you perfect framing for your specific 120 format film.

• easy120 Universal 120 Holder – Included in the easy120 product listing (Gate: 88mm length, 58mm width)
• easy120 6×4.5 Medium Format Holder (Format specific holder for scanning 6×4.5 medium format film, Gate: 47mm length, 58mm width)
• easy120 6×6 Medium Format Holder (Format specific holder for scanning 6×6 medium format film, Gate: 62mm length, 58mm width)
• easy120 6×7 Medium Format Holder (Format specific holder for scanning 6×7 medium format film, Useable gate: 77mm length, 58mm width)

These holders fits into the easy120 system just like any other compatible holder. Each holder is conveniently replaced using the new holder lock mechanism.

Similar to the VALOI 120 Holder for our 360 system, the easy120 medium format holders are:

• Designed for maximal flatness with a double S-curved track that mechanically flattens the film
• Prevent reflections: Matte black plastic and strategic anti-reflection angles
• Quick-advance system: Push or pull film through, no fiddling with traditional clam-shell designs
• Minimise vignetting on the edges with a beveled design under the film
• Optimised for full rolls – it will work with cut strips but flatness may vary

In use

VALOI easy120 holders work by passing the film through a thin slit passing through the whole holder and out on the other side. This way, you can conveniently push or pull the film through all the way, saving you time and effort compared to a traditional clam shell holder.

All VALOI holders employ a double-S curve design, where the slit that the film is passed through curves before and after the scanning gate. By bending the film slightly in one direction on both sides of the film, greater flatness is achieved than would be possible with a straight slit.

Holder Lock Mechanism

The easy120 unit’s metal housing features a spring-loaded ball bearing system to secure the Film Holder. Inserting the Holder is as simple as pushing it until it clicks into place. This lock mechanism keeps the Holder secure while still allowing for easy, effortless removal. It ensures quick and precise operation without tools, providing an incredibly satisfying user experience.

Compatibility

It is compatible with all easy120 units. This holder is not compatible with the VALOI 360 system or with the VALOI easy35 system.
