I just had another variation of the idea.
How about building a camera AROUND a flatbed scanner like the Easyphoto?
Get a box , use the flatbed scanner as the "filmback" ... mount the board on
some
rails with a bellow and put in a lensboard and a shuttered lens.
I've been reading up on this scanner, and it appears to me that a list of
people have
problems with it.
