This appears to be a scanning back camera. I had a Betterlight back a few years ago that took stunning pictures under the optimal conditions. If anything moved during the scan, like leaves in breeze, the picture was unusable. The time they quoted for the scan (20 seconds, as I remember it), was in bright light, seldom the case at sunrise/sunset which could be 3 minutes. This looks to be much more useable in the field than the Betterlight/view camera/laptop set-up.Has anyone ever used this thing?
Just came back from Lisbon, trying to deal with the unfortunate pit-falls of panoramas...
But I am wondering, if you use a long lens, which I suppose you must due to the large image circle needed, how much advantage do you really have in comparison to 2 or 3 shifted, stitched images with a 280 back on a technical camera.I've used their (seitz) roundshot which is remarkable. Peter Lorber is the guru for this line of equipment. If you take Panoramas, this is the way to go.
