Sunday, 28-April-2024 - Veghel - This is my homemade copy stand, made using a simple idea and high-quality components. I use it with my small Olympus TG-4, but it can support cameras and attached lenses up to 5 kg! This is my alternative to using a scanner to digitize our family photos.
I was inspired by photographers Peter Krogh and Alexander Matragos. I have another setup for digitizing 35mm film inspired by photographer Peter Forsgård. Thanks to Wim van Schaijk for finding and sawing the plywood for this project.
