To shoot this you have to have soft clean white light with a long exposure. Tak the time to st up the tripod and your 105mm macro. Fill the fram as completly as possible, but don't crop the image at all. Keep the entire photo in the shot. At lease duel lights would be a good start. Watch for glare and reflections off the print. Even a good even 10watt bulb on each side of the camera will do well. The lower the watage the longer the exposure as you well know. Remember to keep the photo flush with the lens. You want the photo and the lens at exactly the same angle so you can get an even transfer. Another options is we do what we did for Pat, Upload a high rez scan to my site and let everyone give it a go. I have confidence you can do it, its just a matter of how long you have to spend on it. Sounds like this is something you would be willign to spend a lot of time on too. Magick Michael
