Has anyone had any experience with this product? I think it is most interesting, but would like to read some reviews about it.
Thanks,
Marilyn

Re: Lucid-Art Camera-Lucida, by Lucid.Art

It seems that there are two qualities of this product. I would investigate both.

I'd pay special attention to that "unstable image" or "wobbly image" comment that is made somewhere in the explanation. Being able to move your eye away from the work, and to then be able to return to your work seems of paramount importance to me.

I have not used one. Someone who has used one should have some much better opinions.

I know that I have used a projector, and I wouldn't think that anyone hearing my comments about working with the typical projector would be tempted to buy one.

Thank you, Yes, I think my projector's pluses outweigh the cons. It does give me a bright, outstanding image. I do have to replace the bulb every few years or so.
Thank you for your comments.
