Sorely tempting at that price, thanks for the heads up!
Heads up - I found it unsatisfying for copying with a phone. The final image was just too small for my use. But it has the feeding mechanism and holds film so you could strip it down to use it w a digicam.

So Lomo already makes this - that you can modify in any sweet way you like. And it costs $40. $40. Wait did I mention it costs $40?

Sorry, but that LOMO device is cheap and imprecise. The film-mover is a toy, and doesn't hold negative flat. MAYBE it could be useful for iPhone scans, but even that is doubtful.
I have one. I have repurposed one of the stacking pieces as a spacer for iPhone macro.

There is a big difference here. Those lenses give a different look to the image so you could argue why u need a Summilux vs 7A.
These film holders do not.
Given that you have not used this scanning apparatus, I can't agree with you. You can speculate, but nothing other than that.
One could argue that a summilux is nothing but a name, i see no difference in how it renders. All i'm saying is, price may be objective but value is subjective, if someone sees value in something that you don't, move on. There is no need to knock something so much just because it does not fit your needs.

Hmm that lomo contraption doesn't sound quite so exciting now haha. I did wonder about the images given the orientation of the film - it's at right angles to the sensor? And even so, can you get the camera near enough to make the image big enough with a phone. I was thinking of it as maybe being a quick and easy way to scan panoramic shots, noblex or horizon, but I'd want a decent image.

Bought one of those lomo film scanners, quick and easy to use - found it especially good for use with lomokino negatives. Run a frame through Affinity, record/run a macro to loop through all the frames... job done.
