A phone stand, backlight and film holders for digitizing 35 mm and 120 film with a smartphone, for about $90. It handles medium format, which the built-in scanners here do not.
A digitizer of this type does not scan: it holds the film in front of a camera or phone, which photographs it against a backlight. Image quality then depends on the camera, the lens and the light.
It takes 120 film, unlike the standalone scanners here.
11 levels over USB-C.
Also usable on a flatbed.
