Years ago, I did the same thing. Enjoyed copying artwork much more than 
setting up remotes for shuttle launches. I'm curious as to your methods 
since my experience with the 55 Micro Nikkor was fine.  I used tungsten 
light and film exclusively, after trying several other procedures. If I 
had to choose one camera and lens to own, my choice would be a Nikon 
with that 55mm.
