When you see ebay item 160562701815 from down under it becomes obvious
what Im trying to do
but at a sensible cost
you can see I have a suitable stand with a fiche holder from an old fiche reader

This evening I have had a google/look at available open software if
any for camera control
libgphoto2 seems to cover the usb connection, fetching pictures and control
I have got it to fetch pictures from both my cameras, but the
graphical reference application
(gtkam) by the same group is woefully backwards in that it can only
download not control the camera.
gphoto2 can use the lib to control and take pictures but its command
line only! this is 2011 and pictures are graphics!
some mug/volunteer should fix gtkam :) to be useful
