Absolutely! That is so cool...

I have an older HP ScanJet 6200C and have always been surprised by the depth
of field of which it is capable. Not owning a digital camera of any sort, I
will sometimes use the scanner to produce quickie digital renderings of
three dimensional objects destined for the Web.* But this fellow has taken
it to amazing heights.

Thanks, Jim.

* A long time ago when this forum was still about photography someone asked
about the world's first production auto-focus camera. Well I happen to have
a pristine, working example of that camera, so I laid it lens-down on the
glass, placed a white *** of paper over it, and scanned it on the 6200C
and here's what I posted. Not bad for a camera-less, lens-less and
film-less image:

That sounds like one helluva scanner Ken! Thanks for the tip!
The Konica C35. A classic 70's rangefinder. The only thing I don't
like about it is it doesn't have a ratcheted film wind lever, it has
no over- or under-exposure shutter lock and it has no manual exposure
control.
I have the Canonet QL17 Glll. It has both manual and auto modes. I
love the size and convenience. Hold on to that camera as they are
truly legends along with the QL17.
Thanks Ken.
