Arista Freestyle Film Killer
The Arista Freestyle Film Killer is a professional film cutting tool designed for photography labs and home processors. It provides precise cutting marks for 35mm, 6x4.5, 6x6, and 6x7 formats to ensure flawless trimming after development. The tool eliminates the jagged edges and accidental image trimming common with traditional scissors. It is built for users who require professional-grade accuracy when finishing analogue film strips.
Installation and Common Issues
The cutter features a 175g stainless steel driveshaft with knurling and silicone rings set for 35mm and 120 film edges. The rings rest on the film edge for minimal contact and 100% non-slip transport during cutting. The blade locks in a safety position when not in use. Misalignment can occur if the silicone rings are not correctly positioned for the specific format being processed.
Light Table Compatibility Limits
The device is designed to let light pass through from below for use with a light table. This compatibility removes guesswork by illuminating frame boundaries during the cutting process. The tool relies entirely on an external light source for this visual alignment feature. Without a light table or suitable backlight, the cutting marks for 35, 4.5, 6, and 7 formats cannot be visually verified through the tool.

Questions about this item
How do I verify the stainless-steel driveshaft and silicone rings are gripping film correctly after setup?
Load a strip of 35 mm or 120 film; the 175 g driveshaft knurling should hold the edge firmly while the silicone rings rest only on the film edge with no slippage during a test cut.
What comes in the box and must I buy blades or a light table separately?
The tool includes the stainless-steel driveshaft with pre-set silicone rings and cutting marks for 35 mm, 6x4.5, 6x6 and 6x7; replacement blades and a light table are sold separately.
Which cutting-mark row should I select for 6x6 versus 6x7 medium-format frames?
Align the film so the frame edges sit under the 6x6 or 6x7 marks respectively; both rows are etched on the same tool, so no separate version is needed.
