I think Bellows would be the only sane way to approach
this. You
could do it with extension tubes, but they?re a pain. Another thing
to consider is a light source. You?re going to need a fair amount of
light, given the necessary extension to get the magnification.
I was going to suggest a Bowens Illumitran (which I have) but that sort
of exercise wouldn't be kind to the flash tube. LEDs would be my
preferred solution; given the small area you might only need one bright
white 5mm LED.
The Illumitran uses bellows, but for a lot of DEC fiche, the page size
is constant so extension tubes might actually be better - they won't slip.
One of my favorite books, I think I?m up to 5 editions
of it. :-)
You?d be hard pressed to find a photography book with more data in
it!
My favourite is L.P.Clerc "Photography" (six volumes), but second is
either M.J.Langford's 3-volume "Photography" set, mainly because I got
it for college, or the "Ilford Photography Manual".
