Existing Film Scanning Machines

Here’s a view of the Lasergraphics cameras:

On the left is the Scanstation, the right the Archivist. These are current model machines. You can see they have an Emergent camera like this with a Sony sensor.

In the Scanstation the optics are a Schneider-Kreuznach Makro-Symmar, and in the Archivist they use a RodagonD1x.

There’s a fan on the camera to cool it and eliminate sensor noise. Interestingly there’s a mount ready to go for a second fan in the photo of the Archivist. Of course this is not the most efficient way to add external cooling to the camera, so if you have a different camera with the same sensor then it may be that you need to attach a heatsink to it to dissipate the heat.
