contraption

I know that I could probably look this up, but is this an enlarger or some other mystical film contraption?

It’s a film scanner that does 8000dpi on 35mm, and keeps the film flat relative to the sensor by bending it over a “drum” of sorts and scanning just a few lines at the centre of the bend, so that the scan is perfectly sharp. Not a real drum scanner, but the next best thing.

oh cool, i had the thought it might be a scanner but i was like "nah its way too tall for that"
