Frankly I would pick up a flatbed scanner - 600ppi should be enough resolution.

Alternately just use your tripod and a macro lens.

Subject: Copying old photos with limited equipment.


| Hi everyone,
| 
| My mother was lent a box of photos at Xmas of family taken many years ago
| (all B & W). She only has it for a few more days, and I'd love to copy them.
| Of course, now would be a great time to own a camera stand, but I don't, so
| any advice on taking copies with either the LX or MX with a 50mm F1.2.
| 
| I don't own that much Pentax equipment <blush>.
