Hi Scott,
Here at the British Library, we¹re using the Sinar Exact system to
photograph large artwork and maps, as its a 16 shot back you get extremely
high definition, obviously we use fixed lenses, a 40mm and 90mm. I also
use the kinoflo celeb 401 (4ft) to photograph these items, the light are
very bright and its flood is far better balanced than any other flash
system out there.
If your in the area sometime, your more than welcome to come and see our
studios.
Cheers
Tony
