Film Digitising Adapter ES-2

The ES-2 adapter lets you turn colour or monochrome images shot on film into high-quality digital files without using a scanner. It’s compatible with Nikon DSLRs that boast an in-camera digitising menu. Using a lens such as the AF-S Micro NIKKOR 60mm f/2.8G ED attached to the D850, the camera's digitizing function automatically reverses the colors and stores them as JPEG images. You can confirm the digital images on the camera’s monitor or on a TV monitor via an HDMI cable (not included). Whether you still shoot rolls of film or it’s negatives from years ago, the ES-2 is a handy way to create digital files for printing and sharing. The resolution and tonal richness of your JPEGs will be suitable for enlarging up to A1 size.

It can be attached to the following lenses:

• AF-S DX Micro NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8G
• AF-S Micro NIKKOR 60mm f/2.8G ED
• AF Micro-Nikkor 60mm f/2.8D
• NIKKOR Z MC 50mm f/2.8

The FTZ mount adapter is required to attach an F-mount lens to a Nikon Z series mirrorless camera. The AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED and the NIKKOR Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S have longer working distances and the length of the film digitizing adapter ES-2 does not support them.

The D850 and D780 have a built-in Negative Digitizer function, which automatically inverts the colours in negative film (colour/monochrome). *1

You will need to manually invert the colours using photo editing software such as NX Studio if the model of camera you are using does not have this feature, this includes Nikon Z mirrorless cameras.
