Some interesting ideas here.
What if one were to... Remove the SLR lens from the equation by removing the CCD sensor from the camera body and "contact print" the film image directly onto the sensor with a well-regulated back-lit box then stitch those images together (no lens distortion). Even if the filtered glass becomes damaged those are replaceable, right?
What if one were to... Remove the scanner bar from a HQ flatbed and mount it in a fixed position, build a variable-speed-driven drum that's been precision smoothed and frosted and lit on the inside, and drive that system with the flatbed scanner's factory software?
