Re your lighting problem I why not buy some cheap white nylon fabric and build a light tent which is attached to the camera so that when you put the camera on the object to be photographed, the tent is automatically in place. Then just use a regular strobe w/diffuser to illuminate the tent. - -- John Brownlow http://www.pinkheadedbug.com
