I bought one at Lowes a couple years ago with a 6500k lamp that does wonders. I also use camera angles to bring out the colors. I take all my pics freehand, there's no need for copy stands and tripods unless you're trying to capture huge images with perfect clarity. In general, those just shackle you to a fixed postion which limits what you can do. Here's examples of my slab pics: <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320671355965&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320671355965&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320671355965&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT</a> <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320650529033&ssPageName=STRK:MESOX:IT" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320650529033&ssPageName=STRK:MESOX:IT" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320650529033&ssPageName=STRK:MESOX:IT</a>[/QUOTE]
