thank you thrift store
this one is powered entirely off usb and plays nice with xsane and plays nicely with my box camera and is super super light and small
finallyyyyyy a good scanner
now i can get to light sealing the box camera and measuring out focus distances and stuff. hehehehehehehehehehe
image #1&2 was a test shot
image #3 was me messing with the scanner while it was doing something weird (i input weird settings)
image #4 is a portrait with a flashlight held pointed at subjects face. focus was set to infinity because i wasnt about to do the old focus scan refocus shuffle. looks nice and spooky.
