No reason it shouldn't work....you're just swapping out the film back for a digital back.Actually, I do believe reading that the RB67 doesn't have the ability to support digital backs, being that there are no electronics in the camera. Might wanna double check on that. Picking up mine in an hour, super-stoked!
That's what I thought.Oh yes there are digital backs for the RBs, they just cost as much as a nice car.
I've read about a few scanners turned into cameras. If I'm not mistaken, that was actually how the digital camera was invented...so to speak.I was once thiinking about adapting a scanner over the back of a LF camera before digital hit the market and maybe even making an adaptor for my RB. Think it can be done?
The question I have is do you think it will need a plane to focus on like a ground glass, or will the scanner be able to scan the projected image directly without anything before it? (of course the image was pre focused to the same plane as the scanner bed as if it were film)
Hahaha, you are correct mike. The camera wouldn't have fired if you had followed PaulRon's instructions to the t. I am actually purchasing one of these beasts today after work. I'm so excited to get back to film, especially with such glorious viewing space on that giant ground glass screen. I just really need my store to get more of the optech straps in so I can actually carry the tank around. I misloaded one roll on this camera already before downloading a manual, and now I have spent a whole lot of time reading and rereading the manual, so I'm ready for it finally. One of my backs has a stuck counter issue, and I have already downloaded the service manual for it and will be fixing that myself. This thing is going to be so much funn!
