My only question, and I'm not giving you a hard time, I really want to know, is, why would you want to use an SLR on a Reprovit? They are such an elegant solution with the M camera and focuslide. I've done copy work both ways. With the standard Reprovit and using SLRs. I can't imagine owning a Reprovit and not using it with the M. Why would an SLR be a good choice, when copy stands without all the paraphernalia or a Reprovit (which makes it so cool) would be a cheaper alternative with and SLR? ========== Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch The young child is looking in the world to find himself - reflected in a mirror with a thousand faces. - -Maria Montessori
