    Re: DIY Robotic Scanner Back?

    The pros/cons of taking 10 full-frame digital photos with a non nodal point and stitching them together vs taking a single Large Format 4x5, for example.

    Re: DIY Robotic Scanner Back?

    Hi Boris, I'm all too familiar with pano technologies. I even built a robotic head from the ground up. I don't know if there are any benefits to scanning a large format image vs doing a non-nodal...

    Re: DIY Robotic Scanner Back?

    Thanks Engl, the Sigma camera lost me at "the mirror will go back in 30 seconds no matter what you do." :) The challenge here, I take it, is a precise X/Y movement mechanism. The sensor will be the...

    Re: DIY Robotic Scanner Back?

    If I'm going to do it, all I really need is a large format lens, of which I have 3. I also have an enlarger lens, not worth much, I could probably test with. I'd then just build a crude box/bellows...

    OH! So you take the lens off the EP-1? Or never put one on ;) NOW your photo of your setup is starting to make a lot of sense to me.

    Re: DIY Robotic Scanner Back?

    I'm noodling some ideas. My big question is about any image degredation by taking an image on the ground glass instead of the sensor getting directly exposed. Or put another way, how much loss of...

    Re: DIY Robotic Scanner Back?

    I don't understand much of the view camera terminology. What the front and back standards are, etc. I'll do some research.

    The right solution would probably use stepper motors, but I would use...

    Re: DIY Robotic Scanner Back?

    Interesting. Are you taking images using a common nodal point (like a panorama), or are you sliding the camera top/down, left/right? I also take it you taking about 50 captures? If so, you do those...

    DIY Robotic Scanner Back?

    A long, tortuous story. For the past year or so I've been building robotic camera stuff using Arduino boards and inexpensive servos. You can read some of it here: http://www.maxotics.com First a...
