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.

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>. >> - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
