Have you actually tried to make a shot of a Faust IT8 camera target under natural outdoor lighting, and for one or another reason not been successful at avoiding glare and uneven lighting? Perhaps something is wrong with your shooting technique?

It's true that shooting in direct sunlight does take a little thought and care (it's not difficult, but it helps to know what you are doing).

But it seems to me that anyone should be able to avoid glare and uneven lighting under conditions of uniform cloud cover, which turns outdoor light into a huge light box.

Best,
