Agfa StudioCam

[elmer3.5]

Hi, recently acquired one agfa studiocam full frame scan camera, just couldn´t find any place to ask for it in this forum so, thanks Brian!

The price was about 80 usd and just couldn´t resist the fact it was stated it´s a full frame scan camera nikon mount!
I know it´s for studio purposes but with some luck (and tiny pc with scsi plug) perhaps i´ll be able to make some landscapes with it

No rf but perhaps something interesting can be done with it.

What do you know about this camera?

Any experience on this one?

Bye!

I have made two simmilar cameras, but for 10x15cm. Picture in the link is from second prototype. machan.tumblr.com/post/5329544218/from-concrete-series-digital-large-format-camera

I've got one, but its power supply has failed, and another broken one I bought cheaply came without power supply...

As it seems to take the regular +/- 5/15V set of a PC power supply, I'll replace the PSU whenever I feel like shooting scan again (which is fun in particular outside a studio, as it distorts everything moving).

The software is still around on the net (it uses the regular Agfa scanner software). Mine did work some five or six years ago on a WinXP laptop (with Adaptec cardbus card), so if yours is complete and working, it should not be too hard to get it going.

Well my project isn't complete now. I'm in the middle of the project.
But to make long story short: You take flatbed USB powered scanner like Canon LIDE, older model like 20, 25, open it, disconnect light, make hole in lid, glue LF camera on the lid. For focusing I've used half of lamination foil. It cost me about 130$ and time. I include photo of second prototype in action.

It seems that photo of setup didnt cooperate so take two ...
