As ”faithful rendition” is not always
necessary any more, we should
perhaps not speak of reproductions,
but of a special way of ”image capturing”,
because this has no meaning
with respect to the rendition of the
”captured” subject. And this fits today’s
digital photographic world much better.
Much of the ”capturing work” is done
by the flatbed scanner, often limited to
letter format sizes, but cameras will
also find many fields of application
here.
The indispensable stand for that purpose,
the often equally essential
lighting equipment and many more
useful helpers can be found on the following
pages. Only when copy stage
and storage stage (film, chip or scan
area) are absolutely parallel, all angles
are exactly the same as the original is
and the captured image is in accordance
with the original’s geometry.
Therefore camera stands for image
capturing applications must be stable
and precise. They usually have a baseboard
to carry the original (sometimes
with an integrated lighting system for
transparent originals), a column and a
camera arm. Various lighting units are
available for reflective originals.
Stands & Lightimg Units for Image Capturing
The height of the camera arm can be
continuously adjusted on the column. In
this way the desired frame and reproduction
ratio can be set with high precision
and consistent parallelism.
Depending on the size and weight of
the camera, the size and nature of the
original and other requirements there
are camera stands in different sizes
and lighting units in various configurations.
