The last shot I posted gained some traction, so I felt like sharing some more of what I’ve done with my scanner camera. The scan is done from top to bottom in about 2 minutes, the model did a great job of staying still throughout.

While scanning motion is definitely eye-catching and spectacular, there are other qualities to appreciate. The gorgeous soft, yet tack sharp aesthetic of large format photography is easily available with a scanner.

Usually I fight the IR-super sensitivity of the sensor, but this time it made her skin iridescent against the rock in the background.

    I’m not really one for numbers, and I don’t know understand your question.

    If a 180 degree cone in front of the lens is the widest, I think this setup can do something like 80 degrees, and does its best work between 50 to 70. That said, this purely finger in weather approximation, I’m not really interested in the numbers when I do these shots

      Thanks! If you happen to also shoot traditional cameras, speaking in terms of say FF EQ focal lengths works too. It does indeed sound pretty wide, with a sweet spot between 24mm and 35mm FF EQ.
