I hacked up a copy stand. I have an old enlarger where the optical haed was fixed ot the carriage (which goes up and down the column by a large thumbscrew. So I remvoed the head and measuerd said screw and then made a bras rod wit h a suitable tapped hole on one end to fit onto the carriage) and a male thread at the otehr (to go into a camera tripod bus). Actually, I made 2,one with a 1/4" BSW thread for most cameras, the other with 3/8" BSW for soem of my medium format stuff. I also obtaiend a siet of copying lights (white reflector troughs iwth photoflood-like bulbs in them). First thing I deed was re-wire then with a series/paralell switch. I can start up wit hthe bulbs in seires which gives enough light for settign up the subject, ofcussign a manual-focus camera, etc nad then swithc to paralll (full brightness) for the exposure. the bulbs last a lot longer that way! -tony
