I've seen digital scanning backs on 'cameras'. So the lenses are lenses and I see no point where one is not the other. My point was that the question posed at first is unanswered. It appears that the 'artist' doesn't know the answer. It would not surprise me if the 'artist' doesn't know that she is actually using a lens that in fact is very much like a camera lens. -- Jim Davis, Nature Photography, http://easternbeaver.com/ Motorcycle Relay Kits
