This is my Betterlight Super 8K-2 4x5" Digital Scanning Back with an resolution of 8000 x 10600 pixels, which I bought from Betterlight in 2004.

I think most people reading this knows what this back can do in a 4x5 large format camera. If not, please take a look at the Betterlight website (http://www.betterlight.com).

It is in "like new" condition, as it has only done about 200 scans in the studio. It is in perfect working order with no dead pixels.

This Super 8K-2 is almost the same model as the Super 8K-HS, which Betterlight currently sells for $17,995, except it has an SCSI Interface box instead of an USB interface. You could upgrade this unit to the USB Interface box for about $2,500. Of course you can also ad all other upgrades Betterlight offers, for example the Pano/WideView™ Adapter or the Lithium-Ion Battery for outdoor use.

I will send it in its original box.

Parts List:
1x Control Unit with SCSI Interface
1x Scan Insert with 8000x10600 pixel resolution
1x Daylight IR filter
1x Double shielded cable
1x SCSI cable
2x Focus card
1x Viewing overlay
1x Holster
1x CD with newest software

In addition you will get an Adaptec PCMCIA SCSI Card, which could be useful if you have a laptop and the Gretag McBeth Colorchecker color rendition chart, which is very useful for perfect gray balance or color reproduction.

I am located in Germany, but will gladly ship to the Untited States, Canada, Japan and all countries of the European Union.

Price is US$ 6,000
Shipping costs may vary from $40 to $80. Will ship with DHL insured and trackable parcel.
Payment can be done by Paypal.
Of course it could also be picked up in person near Munich/Germany.
European buyers would have to ad 19% VAT, except they are not located in Germany and have a valid VAT Id. No.
