[QUOTE="Hobo, post: 517314, member: 11521"]I bought a Testrite CS-2. (I guess CS stands for Copy Stand.) Testrite no longer makes copy stands. They discontinued them a year or two ago. Too bad because it is a GREAT copy stand. I was patient and finally found one new in the box on eBay. The CS-2 is plenty sturdy for my Nikon D300 w/ Sigma 105mm Macro lens. The D40 is a good bit lighter than the D300 so it would be fine for your D40. The CS-2 does not have a micro-adjust feature for the carriage. I'm gonna look around and see if there is something with this feature that I can mount to the carriage and that the camera can then mount to. The CS-2 has a 36" bar. I hope that is tall enough for photographing larger items. I have no idea what the limitations are with a 105mm lens as I have only set the copy stand up and taken a few test shots. I am sure, though, that I will be very satisfied with this copy stand.[/QUOTE]
