No, nothing from Sinar.
I am familiar with the Lumiere camera system and I've met the person who
designed it. As far as I understand, they had difficulty actually selling
the camera to anyone (there is only one system in place that I am aware of,
although I don't think it was ever actually for salethey want to lease) and
now they just offer spectral photography services.
Besides, for reasons I won't go into on this list (too out of scope), there
are some issues with actually using that camera system in a practical way.
It's NOT a system for high production. If you don't have time to make some
local color corrections, then you won't have time to capture a painting with
this camera.
Feel free to contact me off-list if you want to discuss this further.
