Re: Have anyone tired this?

I´ve got one useless scanner available. LF digipack?

I´ve worked this thing like this:

1) I´ll unplug scanners scanlight. If it requires it be there, simply solder long
wires to light itself and move it away from scanner. I don´t know would covering
lightunit lighttight do the trick since I haven´t never dismantled scanner.

2) Prescanning might give clue how to light subject properly to obtain reasonably result.

3) Due relatively long scanning live subjects are more or less prohibited.

But being able to do LF scans to computer directly and make diginegs from it...
