Lomography
Lomography’s DigitaLIZA lets you shoot on film and scan the negatives into your phone.
Scanner
For the best results when scanning film, you should use a dedicated film scanner.
However, these are expensive, quite slow, and bulky.

The brand new Lomography DigitaLIZA+ and DigitaLIZA Max are new, all-in-one film scanning kits.
And still, there’s a hierarchy.
Finally, we get to the most convenient, and also the worst, option: your phone camera.

However, “worst” doesn’t necessarily mean bad.
DigitaLIZA
Lomographys DigitaLIZA is actually two kits.
One, the DigitaLIZA, works with your digital camera and requires you bring your own tripod.
The other, the DigitaLIZA+, works with a camera or a smartphone, and includes a smartphone stand.
The kit includes frames for all kinds of film formats, including 35mm, 120, and even 127.
The results were, shall we say, acceptable.
In the end, it’s all down to time and money.
You’ll get excellent scans from their pro-level scanners with zero effort.
Ask yourself if you might really commit to this busywork before you dive in.
The DigitaLIZA is a good compromise between cost and quality, and it’s certainly fun.
And after all, isn’t fun the whole reason you got into film photography in the first place?
