Malcolm,

Short of getting hold of a tripod and a 100mm lens (macro or not), I would 
think about taking the photos to a copier at the drug store.  My sister has 
made copies of old black & white photos this way on their photo copier.  It 
isn't as satisfying as doing your own scans of the photos, but it will do 
until you get a flatbed scanner.

Regards,  Bob S.

 Of course, now would be a great time to own a camera stand, but I don't, so
 any advice on taking copies with either the LX or MX with a 50mm F1.2.
 
 I don't own that much Pentax equipment <blush>. >>
