I tried this a couple of times, it might work if you are careful with  
the white balance, but usually it gives fringe, and more usually even  
distorted perspectives, reflections on the lens front element, or not  
flat negs; to do not talk about light coming from other sources than  
the lightbox. Anyway you can get some nice digital files if enough  
care is exercised.
