After much, much, much delay (in which time I've started shooting large format film)... finally got around to starting the project. Enlisted my friend Rob and his woodshop, and Dennis and his computer hackery skills.
This is a result of 1 day's work.
Had to first make a lens board. Used a piece of MDF.
The camera also didn't have a rail, rail clamp, or ground glass. Made a rail and clamp out of wood. The ground glass was just a piece of glass from a picture frame we cut to size, and sprayed on one side with frosted glass spray. Works pretty well enough.
Ground glass in place.
Dennis hacking the scanner. Removing the light focusing beam and some other thing.
The result
First scans:
This was a low res preview scan at f4.5. Just 75dpi. Don't know why it is only scanning the middle of the frame. Something to work out later.
100% crop at f16. Even at this aperture, depth of field is very shallow.
Anyway.. this is version 0.1... proof of concept. Much, much more work remains... eventually.[/img]
