Required Distance to Backlight @ 100mm f/8

I have had good experiences with these “Light Enhancement Sheets” for my scanning. They break up the patterns in the light while enhancing brightness at the same time. Well worth the $20 for me.

I am fairly certain they are just 3M Light Enhancement film (or similar knockoff) used in 2 layers for extra light uniformity. Creates a collimating effect and increases brightness.
