LUCID-Art vs. LUCY

You may be asking: “besides the cost, what is the difference between your two camera lucidas?” Well, the biggest difference is the size of the image. The LUCID-Art camera lucida’s image goes up to 20×37 inches, while the LUCY camera Lucida has an image of 19×27 inches, which is still large, just not as large as the LUCID-Art camera lucida.

Along with the size of the image, the LUCID-Art also has a larger magnification when enlarging photos with the photo projector: up to 4x enlargement for the LUCID-Art and 3x enlargement for LUCY.

The LUCID-Art camera lucida is also just nicer in all aspects as you might expect from the cost difference and the way they look. It is supported by a solid mechanical arm that is steadied by a second diagonal cross support arm; thus, eliminating wobbling and giving you the most stable image possible.

Plus the LUCID-Art works with the optional Drawing Board with a tripod mount that makes working out in the field easier. The LUCID-Art’s drawing board turns your standard camera tripod into an easel and has a special connecting point that is designed to attach to your LUCID-Art camera lucida.

Most people get the LUCY camera lucida because it is a great deal for what you get and the added flexibility of being able to use it while standing, sitting or at an easel. But if you want the very best, or you need the larger image or drawing board, then get the LUCID-Art camera lucida.
