  • These links gives a pretty good explanation of the process:

    Ideally you would use an enlarger lens on the camera, using a suitable mount adapter, as they are corrected for distortion, but doing that is pretty hardcore. Using a normal camera lens will probably give good results providing everything is as square and true as possible, you may need to correct either pin cushion or barrel distortion depending on the lens you use.

    Hope that helps a bit :)
