Macro/copy stand, particularly with lighting setup is expensive. I used a cheapest brand name enlarger stand with coarse/fine head height adjustment (now forgot the name as I no longer have it). It was much cheaper than a dedicated copy stand. I bought a set of tungsten lamp lighting stand which fit the stand but eliminated it as I used it with a diffuser dome so you can use just about any light source. Ideal for small objects like stamps. I am sorry I do not have any more meaningful info, but I remember it worked superbly. Ken -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
