Behold, the poor man's comparator.
Features:
- Zero Optical Distortion
- 1200 dpi resolution
- Razor is perfectly flat and perpendicular to camera
- Free
This is what a 1200 DPI scan looks like on my home office all-in-one printer/photocopier. To deal with the blade being on a different plane than the edge of the razor, I just cut it in half as straight as possible, and loaded it back in the razor so that it was flush. It's nowhere near as good as the photos @Rosseforp has been taking recently, and orders of magnitude worse than the genuine comparator photos he took of the English Tech, but it has it's virtues.
Not an good solution by any stretch, the DPI really needs to be 12,000, and ideally it would 120,000. It's a fun thought experiment though. I like the fact that it's perfectly perpendicular to the camera and that it has zero distortion from a curved lens. It's nowhere near high enough resolution though.
