Uh, ya, no 'camera' lens but where do you define camera and scanner
difference. 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.
