Topic: How to scan small objects with high detail
Unfortunately, this is a question, not a tutorial.
A while back, n2ri was trying to scan small objects like HO scale cars. For the last few days, I've been trying to scan very small figurines, in particular some Warhammer 40K Space Marines.
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get any usable scans. By this I mean the basic shape is there, but detail just isn't there.
So I'm thinking about using one of those clip-on telephoto lenses you can get for a Phone camera. Obviously that would require me to refocus the lens, so I'll probably make some kind of external focusing lever or ring.
I also plan on replacing the lasers with focusing types.
But here is the question. Considering the object appears closer to the camera, would the Camera Z distance have to be changed (for example if I use a 2x telephoto, will camera Z = 5.25")
