About Holowave

Practical tools for film and photography.

Holowave makes focused accessories for film handling, scanning preparation, viewing, composition, camera framing, and exposure planning.

Made for the work around every photograph.

Useful photography tools often support the moments before and after exposure: preparing film for scanning, keeping rolls secure, checking transparencies, framing a scene, or choosing an exposure. Holowave develops practical accessories for these specific tasks.

Our current collection includes an illuminated 35mm film cutter, an electric cleaner for 35mm and 120 film, securing rings for 120 rolls, composition training cards, an optical camera viewfinder, a 135 film viewer, and a zone exposure calculator.
