Knokke is a high-speed 35mm film scanner from Soke Engineering, built for film photographers and labs who want faithful colour without a slow workflow. It exposes every frame three times under narrowband red, green and blue LEDs, so each pixel is measured in all channels with no Bayer interpolation, producing 22MP, 48-bit scans. A full 36-exposure roll scans at maximum settings, infrared dust removal included, in under three minutes. It ships with Korova, native Rust software for macOS, Windows and Linux that renders negatives through an RA-4 print curve and offers minilab-style grading. Knokke 135 costs £799.
