Digital BW, The Print

Recently the ICP built a rig to use a DSLR to scan the negatives found in the Mexican Suitcase.

Here is a link to the gadget they came up with.

and the instruction manual:

Personally I was surprised that they went this route, instead of using a drum scanner or a Imacon/Hasselblad
scanner. I'm very curious what their reasoning was behind this decision.


Cheers
