Editorial interest 83/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A free, open-source app lets owners scan 35 mm film with Kodak Pakon F-135 and F-135+ scanners on Mac, Windows, or Linux.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-31 issue.

For: Owners of Kodak Pakon F-135 or F-135+ scanners
Worth noticing: It supports the F-135 and F-135+, but explicitly excludes the internally different F-235 and F-335.

Field notes

The page says frame boxes can be adjusted by hand and that the software can read edge codes to attach a film name and ISO to each picture. It also describes optional infrared dust removal, with support limited to colour negative film and the named XP2 and BW400CN stocks. The compatibility table draws a clear boundary: the F-235 and F-335 are not supported.
