Technically no.
The "exposure time" is somewhat determined buy the scanning speed (which can be set with with a custom DPI setting)
BTW
Thank you for the suggestions.
At the moment I...
As I toil building my current 8x11 (digital scanner) camera I wanted to get some (hopefully) cheap 'lenses' to experiment with when it is completed.
From reading and research I know many large...
Perfect!
Thank you! I preferred not to 'Cha-cha-cha' since lining up camera after moving (even if it's just parallel) but a if a shift is doable then I'll do a test.
I'm not worried about a...
While i'm waiting for some parts for my 8x10 scanner project I was thinking how else I can use the camera.
I thought I could take high resolution 3D or stereoscopic images. But since I know...
Indeed!
Here are a few more pictures. I think they are all at 100dpi
I used a magnifying glass and some aperture cards to experiment with the razor thin DOF and just to do some test shots.

I am attempting to buy a fresnel lens that is more than 10x10 inches to use in front of a custom 12x12" Lexan 'ground glass"
I recently acquired a 12x12 fresnel lens from an overhead projector and...
sounds great!
I'll post images of the CIS assembly and my methods when I get home.
Although the motion distortions are cool, it is quite hard to have a subject sit still for 40 seconds as the...
I think proper 'calibration' is needed to reduce the lines.
I tweak some of the settings (mostly, black and white point) but i think the lines have more to due with the mechanical motion and any...
Thank you for your reply. It has helped me sharpen my search inquiries and how to approach any lens mounting and modifications.
For those like me who would like to learn more (or spend some free...
I'm doing some research on this now but I figured I'd ask here in case someone had an answer.
In some experimentation I have used aperture cards with large and non-traditional optics But, I wish...
Sounds great!
I'm in contact with them about my camera.
What is the quality of the bellows? What material are they made from?
Thank you. I'll give it a try once I have finished cleaning the camera and the movements still have resistance.
The standard lift movements are rather stiff at the middle but not at the bottom or...
Yes.
You are correct. The model is the 6x8D which is in fact 6.5 x 8.5.
Sorry if anyone was confused, I was under the impression that 6x8 was common shorthand / interchangeable for whole plate...
I recently acquire a Toyo camera rig for an auction sale in Japan
The seller had no information on the item.
Here is the link to the original auction....
WOW !!!!
Thank you!!
I am in the process now of getting a LiDe 220. Although I just finished grinding and modifying my second LiDe 30 this weekend.
about number 4
Yes, please explain...
Hmmm, I don't think it was a vague question (labrat)
I just asked what people used to lubricate their camera. Perhaps I could have been more specific about the camera (cast aluminum parts), ...
Does anyone have any experience using silicon or graphite spray lubricants for the camera movements or rail?
I have a vintage Toyo 4x5 that I bought in an estate sale.
The camera will take hours to properly clean but before I finish I was curious to know what lubricants do you use for your controls.
WOW!!! Thank you so much.
That's so cool.
I will try to find more information about it.
I currently live in Japan (Mihara-shi, Hiroshima-ken) and was looking through Yahoo Auctions JP to...
I have been looking to get a cheap large format monorail rig and came across this one.
The seller was a kind of estate seller so could only provide that it was a TOYO brand and nothing else.

1. Thanks for the suggestions!
I was just lazy and decided to take screenshots. Since I'm just testing I don't mind the large file size on some photos. I actually will likely use a RAM disk to...
For those interested - here are a few notes about the pictures.
1. They are screen shots since the actual images are quite big.
2. I haven't been able to resolve the 'shadow' on the edge of the...
Thank you for the advice - Totally go for it! - Please feel to ask any questions about prepping the scanner. I kinda bumbmled my way through it but got it working.
anyway,
I'll would like to...
Hello everyone,
First a little background. I am currently experimenting with a Canon Lide 35 Scanner that I converted to a LF scanner camera.
(in short, the CIS acts like a large 8x10 sensor...
