There are three Noritsu film scanners for the digitalization of colour and black/white negatives, and for reversal film. When it comes to which of the two is the better scanner, as I’m sure most of you could guess: it’s all personal preference.

This is a scanning- only service, no film developing included.

In regards to color the Frontier also tends to have blueish shadows when compared to the Noritsu.

They almost have a slight sepia tone to them, it’s hard to notice as first glance but side by side its very noticeable.

Both these scanners have their cons however, the Noritsu completely outshines the Frontier with Black & White and E-6 Scans.
