Shel, I have been looking for a Pentax copy stand, was it something you were looking for, or you came across for sale? Are they very expensive?
I was asked to copy a couple of photos last week, and I ended up bluetacking the pictures to the refrigerator, and setting the LX and bellows up on a tripod. Not really very convenient, to say the least. I don't want this to be my permanent set-up! Worked though.
