Scanner and lens
I didn't entirely start from scratch.
I bought a Kodak Ektar 127 ƒ/4.5 used for $30. Someone was very honest about the shutter in it not being accurate. For this project I figured I would never use the leaf shutter aside from putting it on bulb or T mode. It seems by far the least expensive large format lens out there. The Kodak code on it says mine is a 1948 and if you look in the pictures of it it has the faintest purple lens coating.
The Doxie Flip scanner I planned on buying used but when I was on vacation with my family and my mother had a lifetime of 4x6 photos. I paid retail for it so I wouldn't have to wait for an ebay auction to close or something. Scanned many family photos and shared them with my siblings.
The scanner has so many things good for this project - being battery powered, being made to be used creatively, the window on the bottom. Unfortunately Jpeg only and not ultra high resolution.
Lets put them together into a camera.
