I was just checking back on betterlight, as they did these nice scanning backs for 4x5 (but really 72*Xmm), and was sad to see the founder passed in 2017. No new backs are being made.I wish it would have been possible to bid to open source the diagrams. The sensors seems similar to those used for industrial vision mentioned elsewhere in this thread.

Looking at the details of the betterlight backs,

http://www.betterlight.com/how_they_work.html

made me confident that while not trivial, it's only a matter of someone who is already familiar with all these things to make one, and an Open Back really have HUGE chances, at some point, to force an open model with cameras, something that I think is long overdue. Most of the things that are in my A7RIII I don't need at all, don't want, and I can do a lot of things that I'd like to do.

But back to better light, what a nice company and innovative person. Really nice to learn more about Mike, and sad ... we are only passing here and have to make the most of our time.

There is an alternative but quite expensive: Largesense.com
