## Description

CAMERA/SMARTPHONE vs. SCANNER No More Scanning! Now is the time to digitize your photos and documents using your camera or smartphone, no scanner required.

Review: It works and is easy - It took 3 months to arrive, but here it is. And it works. Reproducing documents and old photos with my new phone works fine.
Review: Reasonably sturdy and well-built but no tilt adjustment - I bought this copy-stand to do "DSLR scanning" of some 35mm slides. The fatal flaw of the setup is that there is no way to adjust the "tilt" angle of the camera. My camera hangs on the L bracket at a tilt angle of a couple degrees, which is enough that the not all of the 35mm slide will be in perfect focus. An additional "tripod leveling base" (or at least a shim) is necessary to accomplish that. The copy stand is reasonably sturdy, but the amount of camera shake during close focusing is considerable. That said, I don't know of any better copy stand for this purpose in a similar price range. I'm using a Lumix GX85 with the Olympus 60mm macro lens to do the photography. With the camera mounted at the lowest possible position, the 35mm slide image mostly fills the frame. Being able to move the camera further down would be a little bit better. Not related to the copy stand, but perhaps helpful to others trying to do slide scanning: I found that f/2.8 and f/4.0 provide best sharpness with this lens. Stopping down the aperture further results in noticeable loss of sharpness due to diffraction. I would be very curious to try this with a newer camera supporting sensor-shift high resolution mode.
