The camera.

The lens.

The colour management. Will likely be cropped to the height of the others or the others will be displayed a bit larger or this one a bit smaller so that they all share a common height or width depending on how they will be lined up.

A quick arrangement of some photographic goodies illuminated by two Flolight high frequency ballast dimmable fluorescent lights. I've been doing some tests with the lights and the scan back in the camera shown in this photo prior to the new camera arriving. The lights allowed for satisfactory results after profiling but the real test comes with some artists come in to audit the process to ensure that their works are being faithfully reproduced. Caltar II-s 210/5.6 @ F/5.6, 1/30s line time, ISO 1100. In the top right of the image is a Caltar 75/4.5 (Rodenstock Grandagon?) which I recently purchased used from Calumet. It's 35mm format equivalent lens would be 25mm or about 17mm on a camera like a Nikon D300 or Canon 40D.

A 100% pixel crop from the preceding image. This file was processed in Adobe Camera RAW as it was exported as a DNG from Betterlight's Viewfinder software. For fine art reproduction I would be directly outputting out of Betterlight's software after applying an ICC profile created in Profilemaker. There are some noise artefacts. At least I think it's noise. The camera standards have been adjusted significantly to get some of the inscription of the Angenieux lens, the Kodak lens on the Speedgraphi and the Caltar resulting in abnormal (but, in my opinion, pleasant) looking depth of field blur.
