Now that does sound useable. 

My own copy stand work is done on a Nikon F2 with a high mag finder. The 
slickest copy stand set up I ever used though was the Leitz Reprovit I used 
on a work-study job in college. The professor I worked for called the camera 
a "blind Leica." I realize now that it must of been an M1. I wasn't really 
aware of Leicas at the time so I didn't fully appreciate it. But the stand 
was really cool.
