Building a simple 4x5 scanner back.

[Drew Bedo]

I went to research a BetterLight scanning back, 20 year old technology but prices haven't budged or gotten more expensive. Not 4x5 but better resolution than this thing. All I can see is it has funk appeal.

As I wrote above, it looks like a fun thing to have done and it does make some sense to use the TravelWide as a platform . . . . .but:

Juast because something CAN be done doesn't mean that it should be done.

OK . . .now a positive thought. Why not try to adapt it to a Holga or one of the LOMO panoramic/wide roll film bodies? Now that would be art!

Now watch . .now that I have said that, .someone will do it and publish awidely acclaimed (andf expensive) book then get a show at a big name gallery.
