<p>[QUOTE=&quot;EyeEatWheaties, post: 1104217, member: 26972&quot;]Hey Zeke,&nbsp; I bought one of those $20 chinese DC power supplies but it never worked - The Canon one is $64..&nbsp; too much to make worthwhile.&nbsp; I have 3 batteries ($10 chinese) that I rotate around - one in the camera, one in the charger, one on the desk ready to go.</p><p><br /></p><p>Distance from the end of my 100mm Macor to the Lincoln cent is right at 6 1/4&quot; - no cropping is needed top and bottom.&nbsp; The lens in the picture I posted was about 8&quot; in order to fill the frame with a Lincoln.</p><p><br /></p><p>As mentioned above, the copy stand you are looking is from 2 broken tripods that I completely tore apart and then morphed them together _ I can get 20 inches above the desk top.&nbsp; Not enough to shoot the entire slab with out changing the lens.</p><p><br /></p><p>My dream copy stand is to buy one of the $50 drill presses you see in Lowes, throw the drill away and use the stand and cranking mechanism for fine focusing.&nbsp; They aren&#039;t quite tall enough for my purposes though and I can justify buying a floor standing drill press just for the column!&nbsp; Its on my to do list...&nbsp; maybe get parts from Delta. ...&nbsp; someday&nbsp; lol[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
