No need for filters with this combo. If your stand has daylight or can be gelled for daylight, us a fine grain chrome film. Fuji Provia works well as it is not as "contrasty" as other chrome film. 50 to 60mm lens is ideal. I will risk the blasphemy of saying I use a Nikkor 55mm 2.8 Micro on a Nikon F. Maybe someone can recommend a Leica lens for copy work :^) cheers, Greg Locke St. John's, Newfoundland locke@straylight.ca http://www.straylight.ca/locke - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Touched By Fire: doctors without borders in a third world crisis. http://www.straylight.ca/touchedbyfire.htm ISBN#0-7710-5305-3 McClelland & Stewart
